This from Howard Dean, head of the DNC...
Democratic party chair Howard Dean says he's not happy that Iraqi war veteran Paul Hackett is dropping out of the race for U-S Senate in Ohio.
Dean told a student audience in Miami that "some skulduggery in Washington" improperly led to Hackett's decision to end his bid. And he said Democrats will have a tough time winning if similar things happen to others.
Hackett was vying with Ohio congressman Sherrod Brown for the Democratic nomination. He said that Hackett was a "great candidate," and that a primary in Ohio wouldn't have hurt the party. Hackett says he's ending his eleven-month political career.

Hackett was forced out after DLC leaders (corporate-backed Dems every bit as dirty as Abramoff Republicans) threatened his financeers, the few he had, and now comes this disturbing report...
I was at a private house party on August 2nd in Georgia with Senators Reid, Schumer and Pryor.
And the grand DLC plan is simple for 2006 - no DEM primaries. They plan to choose the DLC candidate and force all others out of the race. Just like they did in PA with Casey.
The exact Schumer (DSCC Chair) quote is:
"We are no longer letting Democrats get in a circle and shoot each other. We are going to intervene if any one Democrat attacks another. We are doing that in states where there are primaries. ......this always happens in the primaries, people throw up the cards and see where they land. No more. We're finding the best candidates in every one of the seats where republicans are vunerable. "
So, bye bye primaries, folks. The good DLC will be choosing our candidates from here on out.

There a trend here folks, when-ever money starts flowing toward the Democratic Party, mostly by corporations sensing a change in the national 'political tide', the DLC is there to do the legislative evil bidding that the Abramoff Republicans have been doing for the last 5 years. This is why people so often complain when they say that one party is not that different from the other.
Seems to me that Senators Reid, Schumer and Pryor certainly have some explaining to do.
