He is referring to the FL and MI debacle. Interesting interview from March.

Roberts refers to Governors Granholm and Crist when he asks the question.

1. K&R. I was going to excerpt a Dean statement or two,

but he said so many I think were important, I just gave up!

Edit to ask:

How come the Dem party in FL declined when the DNC offered to help (financially) do a re-vote? (I know I'm asking the right person! :7)

2. They wanted more money than the DNC offered.

The DNC offered to pay for a caucus...they said no caucus, not enough money.

This has been one of the most shameful episodes in my state's history. It has been a clear case of manipulation and lies from the beginning.

3. Thanks -- I knew you would know.

And I'm sorry. I know you care so much. :(

4. It just hurts to see the division here...mostly done by major Democratic leaders

who support Hillary. Dean used to be so respected in Florida, but they have taken care of that now.

It makes me bitter. A former first family I respected, 4 Congressional Democrats, and county chairs...all caught up in this hate process.

It frankly breaks my heart.
