Brian has a diary about the session Bill Clinton had with Superdelegates at the CDP convention, and his comments to Rachel Binah about Carville calling Bill Richardson Judas.
(I had a chance to meet Rachel this weekend, and she is a great person, and very sharp.)
Then there is the excellent Op-Ed by Bill Richardson on the issue of his endorsement of Obama, and James Carville's comments referring to Richardson as a Judas:
"Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic," Carville told the New York Times.
CDP All District Strategy for Funding California Legislative Races Resolution

There is a resolution being introduced at this year's California Democratic Party (CDP) convention that calls for the CDP to set aside at least $4 million in funding so they can give up to $100K in funding to endorsed Democratic candidates that are challenging a Republican incumbent. These are races that normally would get nothing even when the Democratic challenger candidate raises some money and runs a decent grassroots campaign. These are the many districts that are not targeted by the CDP.
The good news, there is a statewide grassroots campaign to change the CDP funding priorities that got started with a few East County San Diego Democrats, Deep Red country.
This is not the first time a resolution like this has been submitted, but this may be the first one that actually comes up for a floor vote on Sunday April 29th at the CDP state convention.
