ya, sort-of true.

The worst villian is Howard Dean (and the people who authorized him) for imposing such draconian punishments. DEan left the party vulnerable to mischief from the Florida Republicans. Dean's ego got in the way, he could have devised a more sensible compromise, something like what the Republicans did. He behaved like Joe Stalin, enforcing mass punishment on people who had nothing to do with a procedural fight.
Agreed. When I first heard that Florida and Michigan were to be stripped of their delegates, my immediate reaction was that I couldn't believe that Dean would let it come to that. But he did.
