DONE (Democrats Over Nominating Elitists) is a blogging project, conceived in the spirit of Bill Bradley’s A Party Inverted, that urges the Democratic Party to organize itself around patriotism rather than partisanship and lasting principles rather than fleeting personalities. We unequivocally assert that the Democratic Party — in policies, campaigns, and candidates — must always reflect the virtues and values of common, working Americans.

Thank you so much for providing this blog. It was so hard during the primary season to find any accurate and decent coverage. I am so tired of the Democratic establishment turning against true progressive candidates. I love how upset the far left is now that they realize Obama is forsaking them at every turn.

Great blog and Cam Blogger, let us know of your new organization that seeks to keep Hillary’s values and hard work for the past 4 decades alive!The future lies with the supporters of Hillary and Sarah Palin getting together and fighting for the human rights of their daughters! Letterman should be fired, as Don Imus was fired for his racist comments. But girls and women have no rights in this country! It’s the ultra-lib-regressive sharia law that rules the waves…

I happened to come across your site from a link that someone left on a chat board. I am a former Republican (I left because I see the dire situations that our country is currently facing, and the Republicans seem to be as much a part of the problem as any other party, and no part of the solution what-so-ever.) I am in the process of finding a new party who holds true to the prinicpals and values that our Constitution is based upon. I believe that the only way for Americans to claim our country back is to put differences aside for awhile and focus on what we have in common. We all want our country to succeed and we all want the power to be rightfully reinstated back into the hands of The People. I believe that the toughest issue we face right now is BIG government. The federal government is starting to encroach into the private lives of citizens with no signs of backing off. Anyhow, I just wanted to let you know I really like your site and will be sharing it with my many Democrat friends who feel the same as you all do. We CAN take our country back! Thank you all for caring about our great nation!

This idea he isn’t a (American Citizen), I think
could very well be true. In the State of Hawaii
where he supposedly was born, his record’s are
permanently sealed… why is this? Maybe it is
they are trying to hide something from the-
American public!….

Hey,
I’m working with a new national organization that will support Hillary Clinton. The org was formed to connect Hillary fans nationwide. It is our goal to continue Hillary’s legislative work now that she no longer can as a member of the cabinet. We truly believe in what she advocated and fought for during her nearly four decades in public service and we want to keep her momentum going.
We are currently in the final planning stages and will launch in a few weeks. Until then, we are keeping the organization under the radar.
As a blogger and obvious Hillary fan, we’d like to send you an email with all the pertinent information once the organization goes public. Hopefully you will be able to share salient points of our group with your readers and blogging community.
What is the best email address at which to reach you?
Thanks and Go Hillary!
– Cam
