Re: Really Huge (3.00 / 0)

No, Ickes has no influence over the ASDC, that's for sure. If anything though, it's a signal that Ickes, who probably wants to remain on the DNC, and that the Clinton's too, see what's coming, and are slightly ahead of the curve, jumping on the bandwagon.
While Ickes would not comment on the Clintons' preferences, he is a close ally and would not be endorsing Dean against their strong objections.

"Senator Clinton is neutral in the race for DNC chair," said her spokesman, Philippe Reines. "She looks forward to working with the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee."

Ickes and Clinton both think that's Dean.

Re: Really Huge (none / 0)

Really huge indeed. I can't see anyway to interpret this then the Clintons throwing in the towel, accepting what they see as the inevitable, and deciding to make the best of it.

They were the only ones capable of stopping Dr. Dean... other than labor. It is now up to labor. Sew that one up and it really is all over.

Re: Really Huge (none / 0)

Exactly how I read this.  

Ickes finger in air tells him Dean is going to win.  
Once they believe Dean is inevitable then fighting it only hurts them.
