The '08 race has revealed the weird science of the Democratic primary system -- and the true problem with the long Obama-Clinton battle.
  • Not weird.

    Not weird. I knew this would happen, when the starry-eyed liberals started insisting we should base our votes on dreamy videos instead of established record. I knew this would happen when the Obama campaign started their sleazy race-baiting in South Carolina. I knew this would happen when Oprah went about hoofing for Obama on stage and infiltrating him with big cash. I knew this would happen when I saw all the GOPsters come over here and pretend to be Obama cheerleaders, spewing their vulgarity and filth like they do every election when they're pretending to be Democrats (and conveniently disappear a few weeks before the election never to be seen again). I knew this would happen when detested loser liberal dinosaurs like Kerry and Kennedy (and now Richardson) defied the will of their very own constituents and decided to prop up a sure-loser like themselves.

    Of course we should be enjoying landslide leading digits and be poised to pick up permanent majorities in the Senate and House.

    Instead we're going to lose either in a landslide with Obama, or by a handful of states with a now-crippled Mrs. Clinton, and the GOP is going to take back Congress.

    it's awful, but weird not. The left has been doing this for 30 years: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and by now they've gotten extremely good at it. Unfortunately it's the only thing they're good at.

    And it's why I now call myself a proud independent.
