    Sorry Kate

    I didn't respond to your "heartfelt" question because I thought you were trotting out the same old victimization complaints as a rhetorical question.

    The Clintons ARE the DNC. They made the rules that you yell about now. They own the party machine which is why she was a hundred and something superdelegates up before the first vote was cast. And they are "playing to win" ("fighting dirty"). You don't see it because we don't want to see ugly in people we admire but it's there. As recently as 2 months ago I stated Bill Clinton was the best ex-president we ever had. I cannot say that anymore.

    But those pesky voters...and party activists...and change-mongers. Boy did they screw things up.
