  • Is it political seppuku for the Democrats?

    The West Virginia vote is a temper tantrum coming from the voters. Of course, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Rhode Island should have warned Democrats that Obama will have real problems winning. These voters wanted to get their point across very firmly but whether they did with deaf superdelegates I don't know. Democrats don't have a very good track record at picking presidential winners. They like to commit political seppuku.
