Make no mistake about it. The decision rendered today by the Democratic National Committee's rules panel showed that Barack Obama has displaced Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, as boss of the party.

The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee gave Obama exactly what he wanted - a firm decision on seating Florida and Michigan delegates. Even though Clinton wins a small net gain in nominating delegates, it is not enough to seriously boost her chances for the nomination.

I don't agree, I don't think this signals Obama becoming the new boss. That was the Clinton era of "leadership", the era of political favors and "Triangulation" My hope and feel of Obama is that he is something different entirely and wont rule by intimidation and wont make decisions based upon how it may position him further on down the road.
