July 22, 2006--The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee continued its deliberations on changes to the 2008 calendar.  (Top) Committee Co-chair Alexis Herman explains the "Hilton Hotel notepad ballot" that the Committee used to vote on one new pre-window caucus and one new pre-window primary to be added to the 2008 calendar. 
Committee member Carol Khare Fowler (SC) makes a point.
