The race for California

Clinton and Obama battle for a mother lode of delegates -- in a state with a nonwhite Latino, Asian, black majority. Who has figured out the electoral math?

    @W.E.S.

    Ace Up Our Sleeves

    If the voters screw it up and go for Obama, super delegates can step in to correct the mistake.

    -- The Notorious W.E.S.

    Case in point about the Cult of Clinton(tm) -- an argument against the popular vote in favor of party dons and insiders staging an electoral coup? How the worm has turned. Democratic, it ain't. If a candidate is actually popular with voters, there must be something wrong with them. As Einstein put it, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
