Madfloridian's Journal - "The Florigan Plan III" from The Atlantic... the Clinton campaign WAS doing the rallies.

The ones against Florida against the DNC and Dean and the rules he was following under great duress from fellow Democrats.

The emails don't allow copy/paste, but here is a gist of it from the released emails.

The Florigan Plan, Part III

The "Florigan Plan II," March 10, 2008: With hope fading that Clinton could close the delegate gap, several of her advisers made a final, unsuccessful push to address Florida and Michigan right away. The campaign did not do so until nine weeks later, on May 21.

Here are the things mentioned in just this part.

1. The campaign says they should call for a revote, demand their voices be heard, and force Obama to say it would be too expensive or demanding.

2. While there was a pledge not to campaign..there is nothing preventing them now from holding rallies to "Hear our Voices" across both states.

I have always said that probably the two states, FL and MI, worked together to keep their state relevant. I have always said that the Clinton campaign was using FL and MI as tools.

The rules the party has put in place to choose its nominee are not the rules of the Clinton campaign and, just like the Obama campaign, we are doing what we can under those rules to secure the requisite number of delegates for the nomination. One way to avoid the situation described above is to figure out some way to honor the votes of Michigan and Florida, where there was record turnout. Counting the delegates in Florida and Michigan is a civil rights issue, and a solution needs to be figured out before the convention.

Now we learn that the rallies across the state of Florida, and probably the ones in front of the DNC were organized in part by her campaign and Harold Ickes

Rallies are planned Saturday in seven Florida cities, including Miami and Fort Lauderdale, to demand that the national party count Florida's delegates. Hundreds of activists are also expected to ride buses to Washington to rally Wednesday.

''This has to do with our civil rights,'' said Millie Herrera, a potential Clinton convention delegate and the president of the Hispanic Democratic Caucus of Florida. ``No one has the right to invalidate our votes.''

At the rally in front of the DNC where they were yelling for Dean to resign....we learned that they were in fact Hillary supporters.

But they had been told not to say so. They wore shirts of other candidates. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was there for Hillary, so was Corinne Brown.

From First Read:

Angry Floridians

We will shut down the convention!" exclaimed Rep. Corrine Brown. "If we are not seated, then nobody is going to be seated!"

Brown, a superdelegate pledged to Clinton, addressed a crowd of about 150 who had been bused up to D.C. from Florida this week under the auspices of LULAC, an Hispanic advocacy group. Though Brown and another super who spoke -- Rep. Hilda Solis -- are in the Clinton camp, organizers went out of their way to remove any hint that they favored one or the other Democrat in the race. Many in the crowd wore T-shirts with the name of each Democratic candidate, from Kucinich to Dodd to Richardson to Obama, printed across the back in the shape of a rainbow. There was but one Hillary '08 shirt or button to be seen.

"We're not supposed to talk about that," confided Harriet Meltzer, 83, a member in good standing of the Del Ray Democratic Club, though she allowed that she was, in fact, a Clinton supporter. "What's he going to do when he goes to the Middle East?" she asked of Obama, who she deems to be lacking in experience. "Charm them?"

But others were adamant that this was about right and wrong, not Obama and Clinton. "We've been robbed. I didn't get a say," said Glenda O'Laughlin of Clearwater. "This is a betrayal of our rights as citizens," added Branford Fambro, also of Clearwater.

Protesters eventually turned their ire on Howard Dean, literally calling him out with taunting chants of, "Be a man, Howard!" and "Where is Howard!?"

According to the Florigan plan part III the Clinton campaign was involved in these rallies.

But it is, after all, only politics. Right?
