A pivotal day for the Democrats?
As Indiana and North Carolina head to the polls, a couple of predictions: The delegate endgame will change -- and nobody can be sure what's next.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-05-06]

  • Only one thing scares me...

    ...And that thing is reading the comments section on Salon. And it kills me that Walter Shapiro felt the need to dump on Timothy Noah, when Noah managed to write one of the few level-headed columns about the election that I've read in months. And Shapiro calls Noah a -- what was it again -- "rigid numerical determinist." Cute. I guess he's referring to the fact that Noah uses math -- math! -- to calculate the delegate and popular vote in his column. Oh, Noah! Oooh, you! What are you, some kind of math facist? Adding and subtracting and using rational thought-processes and whatnot! Outrageous!

    You can read the Noah article here, if you haven't read it already: http://www.slate.com/id/2190556/
