I know at least that the top level of people in the Democratic Party consists of the Chairperson (currently DWS) and 5 vice chairs, but I don't know who they are.

The DNC database fortunately has a complete record of actions with time stamps. Any competent outside database expert will be able to sort out who did what and when. This includes when the database partitions went down and why, who looked at what, and can ultimately prescribe corrective action if necessary. BTW, Bernie already has many times more items on his contributor list and therefore has much more to lose and less to gain than Hillary by a database malfunction.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
So (according to Congressman Alan Grayson) the Republican primary system still uses the unit rule? The Democratic Party got rid of that after the messy 1968 prmaries. The Republicans will have their change after this, I'm sure.
