Strange, I haven't really wanted to before but now I do.

I also think he is abusing statistics here. The average (mean) time is not what he should look at because he is including all runners in there, the elite as well as the amateurs. So as you add more amateurs to the pool, the times will get larger. But it is like looking at average income. If Bill Gates is in a bar, the average income in that bar will be about a billion dollars. Chances are everyone else in the bar makes a whole lot less. He should look at the trend of the elite runners over time, say the last 20 years and see if their average times are increasing or decreasing. When there are 37,000 people in a race, only a few hundred are really in it to win.

We need to lose the superdelegates. I am already pissed off enough that the media have chosen our candidates. First they ignore the best candidate in the bunch for the people, John Edwards and then they anoint Obama as the second coming of Christ. But if the people in more states choose Obama, then I do not think the superdelegates have any right to choose someone else, no matter how much I want Al Gore to be the candidate. Ultimately if they choose Clinton over Obama even if he wins the popular vote (or vice-versa), I will NOT be voting for the Democratic candidate this year. And I will no longer be a registered Democrat if the popular vote-getter (whichever one that is) is not the candidate. Now I am not a huge fan of either Clinton or Obama and will, quite frankly, have to hold my nose to vote for either corporate shill but the thought of Mccain frightens me even more.
