The Democratic National Committee needs to realize that there are 48 states which are sick of being held hostage by Iowa and New Hampshire. To placate these two states, the DNC risks alienating the voters in two huge states which the party will need in November.
The games which we witnessed being played yesterday at the hearing of the Rules Committee infuriated many of the more than 17 million people who voted for Sen. Hillary Clinton. So does the fact that many "superdelegates" refuse to vote in a way that reflects the opinion of the voters in their states.
The DNC is counting on voters having a short memory but I think they'll find it isn't just elephants who never forget.
