Oh, and...

"your sado-masochistic racialisation scheme is deleterious..."

Have you ever considered writing for Pitchfork? Hat's off to you. if only every ad hominem attack could show such style.

No one expects everyone to remember every detail in a campaign season, but surely you remember the spin during the "time of losses" (i.e. the caucuses and the states with high percentages of Blacks don't count, wait 'til March!). Even if HRC forcibly takes the nomination with fewer pledged delegates, I'll likely vote for her. I'm a lifelong Democrat who believes in Choice, so ironically, I have no choice. At the same time, minorities and and the LGBT in this party are expected to show up in droves based on the "where else are you going to go?" argument. Granted, it's a very good argument given the state of the Republican party. But I don't think it's as persuasive to others who may see the result as unfair.

And yet, WES,

I still don't see her gaining a delegate lead of and kind.

I meant "any"

But it still stands...

Original article: Was Obama's speech enough?

Radical?

What is radical about denouncing the Sharpeville massacre and the bombing of Hiroshima?

Original article: Clinton writes to Obama

The point is...

...that even if you sat them as is (and MI would especially look like a pity gesture) it would lower, but not overtake, Obama's lead. The point is that if we do that, the DNC sends a message that it isn't serious about enforcing it's rules and we'll start having primaries on Labor Day. Full-on chaos. I hope we find a resolution, but it must be one where the DNC, not FL or MI or HRC or BO, is seen to be in the driver's seat. Otherwise, we risk recurring primary issues every four years. I bet you no other states will try breaking the party rules.

Original article: How did Sarah Palin do?

Not good enough

The Dems shouldn't underestimate or give any ground, but I don't know how this will play with the swing voters and the average American, who is still hurting. In times like this, people want answers.
