State parties will not actually use the money to even try to win votes. I mean, they're literally the ones who picked Perez. The DNC is dysfunctional but the state parties are a thousand times worse.

it's almost like there ought to be a standard, outside of their electability, by which a politician's stances and actions could be judged to be sufficiently aligned with the party so that any embarrassing defections could be held to a minimum, thereby saving resources that would be ultimately squandered getting them into office.

it wouldn't have to be stringent, just a floor by which a supported candidate could be sufficiently liberal.

what would you call such a thing? a... cleanliness exam? a stainlessness trial?

perez was paying off his opponents with money obama helped him get. also obama called and leaned on people to install that empty suit. you can't blame perez on the state parties at all either, cause it was obama who brought him into a race he wasn't needed at all in.

just so the party could kill itself better

Obama beat him by 20 points. Of course the real story was that it was a 20 point race between a sitting president and a felon sitting in a texas prison

VW is trash

he won a primary vs two other contenders, one of who was running significantly to his left

in the primary, he raised roughly twice as much money as both his opponents combined. not sure where that money came from or how much of it came from the party. but he also spent a lot more money than he raised, meaning that he ended up spending about six times as much as both his primary opponents combined

i don't know what you're talking about re: "pay offs." anyway i don't think obama's endorsement and work for perez absolves the state parties for having elected perez over ellison. 200 delegates supported ellison, so it's not like it was difficult to vote for a different guy.
