49. Saw that. Didn't see that it would apply to non-candidates.

Here is all I see:

Sometime tomorrow, we will close down the existing candidate supporter groups.

Obama, Kerry, O'Malley, Gore aren't candidates - why would these groups close?

I can see that raises a potential issue with Biden. He is technically not a candidate yet, but is expected to be. What if he announces he won't run?

Still I don't agree with closing groups for historically great people who have zero chance of being candidates in the upcoming primaries. If that's what Skinner does though, well it is his site. I just didn't read it that way because it doesn't make sense to me.

Did Skinner confirm somewhere that meant ALL groups specific to individual Democrat politicians?
