14. The "pledge"

You're not mentioning that the "pledge" exempts fundraising appearances. Meaning that the "pledge" itself was crafted as an exercise in hypocrisy. Florida's votes don't count, but come on people, keep those dollars flowing!

So they don't appear to be breaking the holy writ of the DNC. It was designed so that candidates could still meet with the money. Just not at free rallies.

If these candidates are violating their pledge, then following the Florida situation, Dean should come down on them hard with maximum sanctions, immediately. Right?
