What are these?
From: Chairman Dean
To: Obama, Clinton campaigns
Subject: Florida compromise
We need Florida, but I'm concerned that letting Florida back into the convention will send a signal to the other states that they, too, can ignore the DNC's primary schedule without suffering any consequences.
So here's my idea: We don't "seat" the Florida delegates. We make them stand way in the back behind the American Samoa delegation. Thoughts?
Let's conference call. Is 3 a.m. OK with you, too, Barack?
From: Clinton campaign
To: Chairman Dean
Subject: "Standing" Florida
Sen. Clinton won Florida with the help of many older women. Having their representatives stand in the back behind a bunch of Samoans is an act of misogyny. Chairman Dean, you owe the women of America an apology.
From: Obama campaign
To: Clinton campaign
Subject: Victory/Samoans
Sen. Clinton didn't "win" Florida. The primary was invalid, and the 1.7 million Democrats who showed up were primarily there to vote on a property tax amendment.
Furthermore, Samoans are a proud people, and to suggest that they are lesser beings on God's green earth than white grandmothers - who are probably a little bit racist, just like my own grandmother - is a slap in the face to people of color. Sen. Clinton owes Samoans an apology.
From: Clinton campaign
To: Obama campaign
Subject: Speaking of God
Will a hypothetical Barack Obama convention involve the Rev. Jeremiah Wright leading the convention delegates in a rousing rendition of God @#$% America? Just wondering.
From: Obama campaign
To: Clinton campaign
Subject: Wondering, too
Will a hypothetical Hillary Clinton convention involve the nominee inventing a story about taking sniper fire while arriving at the Denver airport with Jimmy J.J. Walker?
From: Chairman Dean
To: Obama, Clinton campaigns
Subject: Let's stick to Florida
We need to stop these personal attacks and find a way to agree on getting Florida represented.
Here's an idea: Being that Hillary beat Barack in Florida by an 870,986-to-576,214 margin (a 60-40 split), divide up the 185 delegates in that same proportion, giving Hillary 111 delegates and Barack 74. Thoughts?
From: Obama campaign
To: Chairman Dean
Subject: The way we see the numbers
Hillary's votes in Florida were actually 49.77 percent of all the votes cast in the eight-candidate Democratic primary. If she wants those votes to count, give her that proportion of the delegates: which means Hillary gets 92. As the remaining candidate, we'll take the remaining 93. (Yes, we can.)
From: Clinton campaign
To: Chairman Dean
Subject: Oba-math
If you do that, Sen. Clinton will "get in touch with her emotions" again - this time, the full waterworks - while Bill gets unmuzzled for more red-faced, finger-waving rants.
From: Chairman Dean
To: Obama, Clinton campaigns
Subject: You left me no choice.
The party must be saved. I'm running for president again. Heeyyaaahhhhh!
