Because we're young and tend to think with our brains not our emotions. We're going to live a very long time. Time enough to see many, many presidents, Supreme Courts and Congresses come and go. If we don't get what we want now, we'll sit back and let what happens happen. We have time.

The boomers have screwed us over time and time again. Unfortunately for them, when it comes time for the next generation to take the helm it's going to take draconian measures to get things back into whack from the mess that they left us.

So yes - if Senator Clinton wins the nod we'll vote for the candidate that's least likely to affect us with their stupidity and in November if that person has an (R) after their name we'll fill in that bubble. Or if we're not inspired to vote at all we'll find something else to do and check the 11 o'clock news to see who won. Ho-hum.

It's rather defeatist and fatalistic - but only for the time being. Based one what I see happening now when we, "the kids", take over our elders will rend their clothes and gnash their dentures as we take the country in the direction it should have gone in 2009. Instead of the incremental pain of a society on the move it's going to be open-heart surgery without anesthetics - messy, ugly and it's going to hurt like a motherf*cker.

But you voted for it and called it progress.

For "the kids" it's a move backward.

Stephanie Miller's been doing it on her radio show every morning since Senator Clinton said it.

It's not limited to some blowhard on MSNBC. Air America has it too.

20 feet is a nice, bruisy purplish-red.

On the upside if both poles go I'm literally sitting on beachfront.

To acknowledge its existence or non-existence is JUST WHAT THE TERRORISTS WANT. And if we DO WHAT THE TERRORISTS WANT THEN THE TERRORISTS WIN.

Whatever - but I'll bet you lunch that that's the spin.

I'm voting for Barack come November or I'm not voting at all, moving out of the country and never looking back. This backwater country has completely LOST.ITS.MIND. Scared of the possibility for change - not even change itself just the possibility, constantly looking backward to the country's heydays (which were a fluke caused by the de-industrialization of Europe during WWII), and falling for the same damned lines spewed by the same old politicos.

The country is doomed.

You old-timers are idiots. You've screwed up the social safety nets for the younger generation and when we FINALLY step up and say that we're ready to start dealing with these issues you say, "Great! Sit there and take notes for a couple more decades."

Oh hell no. Boomers have got to face it - the younger generations will outright refuse to be the sacrificial lambs on your altar of entitlement. Brain drain? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Time is something we don't have. Here's my prediction if Hillary wins. The Dems will keep Congress but won't be filibuster proof in the Senate. The good news there is that Lieberman will be out. They'll hem and haw for 2 years while the Republicans bring up scandal after scandal after scandal because a Clinton's in the White House and the media will suck it all up and spew it on our television screens night after night. Then the Dems will lose both house in 2010 and we'll be right back where we started in 1992. Gay and Lesbian Americans will still be without their rights, the environment will still be in crisis, prisons will still be overcrowded, China will still be pumping mercury in our toothpaste, and the economy will still be crap. Oh yeah, and we'll STILL BE IN IRAQ! Then we'll end up with another Boosh-alike and the world will collectively look at the U.S. and throw their hands in the air and write us all off.

And I'll be on the outside looking in thankful that I got out when I did.

Is coming, and it's coming faster than most people are aware. Within a year, most airlines and indeed even many online travel agencies will be offering an "unbundled pricing experience".

I personally like the idea because it allows the legacy carriers to cater to a wider range of customer from cheapskate to amenity hound.

I know what kind of travel experience I like and the unbundled fare products will allow me to ensure it.

from making more money and being more popular in the long run.

They're both really pretty too.

Racism is racism.

When white people experience it, it's not reverse racism, it's racism. And to some, it's just desserts.

O

If I were Barack and I won the Presidency, I'd name Lieberman to some cabinet post he couldn't possibly fuck up, like Labor or make him the Drug czar. Then fire his ass for incompetency 6 months later (AFTER the CT special election, naturally).

There's more than one way to skin this particular cat.

It's not about POLICY. There's a HUGE difference there that I think many here are not taking into account. Giving a "tax holiday" and lifting the gas tax isn't going to help anyone. We know it won't. However, it plays well in states where $10 a month in savings on gas nets 3 days worth of groceries.

16% of your income going to gas? That's an immense expense.

And in states like NM, NC, VA and MS - states that could go blue in November, advocating for a "tax holiday" shows empathy.

"To hold that the political branches may switch the Constitution

on or off at will would lead to a regime in which they, not

this Court, say 'what the law is.'"

The fact the Court felt it necessary to reinforce this point scares the heck out of me.

Your "interesting dynamic" link goes nowhere except a 404 Salon page.
