The central allegations weren't against the Clinton campaign, they were against the organizers of the Black and Brown forum, whose comments were printed right alongside every accusation.  Unfortunately, they didn't answer an important question despite repeated attempts to get one from them.  So I published a newsworthy, well-sourced story.  Sorry it disappointed you.

  – where was your proof about the black/brown ticket thing.

That didn't stop you from writing about it . You just wrote a crappy article based on innuendos.

You are a sorry excuse for a blogger.

You punk.

1. I'm not certain that he did.  I walked around some Obama sections in the auditorium and didn't find any Illinoisans, and nobody could go on the record alleging that they did.

2. Busing people into the JJ was perfectly within the rules, even if the campaign did do it.  Campaigns were given equal opportunities to buy tickets, and the state party encouraged them to buy as many as possible (it was, after all, a fundraiser for them).

A new murky rule imposed unilaterally by the Clinton camp to intimidate out-of-state students who are legally entitled to caucus? How come David Yepsen became part of this. You can't defend the special place of Iowa and accept to invent some murky rules mid way. All this time the message for all campaigns was: organize, organize, organize. There would be no point spending millions organizing these young people over these 9 months, like the Obama campaign did, if they can't caucus.

I was disappointed by Yepsen's take on this. He probably got a call from the Clinton campaign and swallowed their talking points. They never believed in the youth vote are at the same time trying to disenfranchise them from their legal rights with bullying tactics. It is offensive. I second that the Obama campaign deserves an apology. They believed in those students and organized them.

It makes you wonder if this isn't a little glimpse of how they may have pushed MI and FL to violate the DNC rules and leapfrog the calendar to benefit the Clinton campaign.

You punk.

If you ask me, colleges that refuse to capitalize on this incredible opportunity to recruit socially conscious and politically active students are doing a disservice to themselves and to the state of Iowa.

Incidentally, Drake University will open up the Olmstead Center for the night of January 3. It's not a dorm, but students who come back to caucus will be able to bring their sleeping bags and stay overnight in a warm, safe place.
