Now you are counting your chickens before they hatch. You are hopin'. No one knows yet who the Democratic nominee will be. Moreover, I find the arguments about electability increasing specious. They are spouted all over the place as a sort of received wisdom by so-called journalists whose main purpose is ... oh gee, I don't know ... maybe to try to make it a forgone conclusion. If everyone is going to spend from now until November repeating what talking heads and columinists have said, the discourse here at Salon is going to get lamer and lamer.
Sadly, it already shows scant substance. If I could wish one thing from this whole process, it would be that people would become more skeptical, less gullible, and learn some critical thinking skills. And I don't exclude myself from that. I, too, make mistakes. When I make factual mistakes, I hope people will point them out by referring me to source material that is viable and not just opinion pieces.
