Obama alienated some of his strongest grassroots supporters in Alabama last night. Go down to Delegate Skirmish in the linked article to read the full account.
About forty grassroots Obama delegates, people who paid $50 to run and who were elected by citizens of their districts, were replaced by an Obama representative with wealthier and better known people.
More below the fold.
The rules of the Alabama Democratic Party allows the candidate to choose his/her delegates. But, I personally find this objectionable and I would like to know if Obama approves of it. I am not a delegate but I know a couple of them and they are really hurt. I have already voted in the Alabama primary and I will vote for the Democrat's nominee but if this is the way Obama is going to treat the grassroots, there will be no more money flowing his way from these bumped ex-delegates or from me either.
