Dnc

The DNC organized the petition drive when it became clear this week that the network was prepared to ignore criticism of its decision to air a right-wing, factually inaccurate mocudrama that dishonors the memory of 9/11 victims in order to serve a cheap, callous political agenda two months before the election.

The wide gap – revealed late Friday in filings with the Federal Election Commission – follows a tumultuous few months for Martin and the DNC that included a public feud with the party’s former vice chair.

Undoubtedly, there were some who thought that the party, once defined and consolidated, would appeal to “Reagan Democrats,” but there were also many who thought that the liberal groups dominating the party could easily splinter into diverse interest groups if not afforded the opportunity to come together as one. The 1984 DNC was going to be that opportunity.
