...January 29, in violation of party rules, the Democratic National Committee effectively nullified the vote in advance and refused to seat any of Florida's Democratic delegates at this summer's convention (the Republicans, by contrast, only cut their delegate counts in half).

Despite Malcolm's feisty rhetoric, her organization has not included references to Clinton's candidacy on the fund-raising appeals they have sent out since the Indiana and North Carolina primaries, as they did with earlier missives. Even candidates of the sisterhood have their expiration dates...
