Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    madamfauntleroy , baby_boomerang & the Supreme Court

    madamfauntleroy,

    As baby_boomerang kindly pointed out, SCOTUS stands for Supreme Court of the United States. I'm sorry about the acronym. I try to write clearly, but often get lazy and so resort to shortcuts.

    baby_boomerang,

    I agree that we're talking at cross purposes, or maybe just approaching things differently (getting back to logic, perhaps inductive vs. deductive). About 122 million people voted in 2004. Right now, I wouldn't be surprised if the turnout this fall is higher. So if even a small percentage of voters decide for whom to vote primarily on the issue of Supreme Court nominations, that will be millions of people.
