I agree with Hillary Clinton: yes, everybody should get their vote counted in these two states. Her opinion is slightly flawed though: she was the only person on the ballot in Michigan, and was the only one to visit Florida (not campaigning. That’s not allowed — the party said so. Just visiting). Barack Obama still got quite a bit of the vote — more than should be expected for a “write-in candidate” for just a single state, proving that there’s something going for him.

Earth to Democratic Party: why didn’t you do a “revote” like you said you were thinking about a month ago? It probably would have solved all of this. It would have cost more, yes. But true democracy is everyone being heard — and that would make it work.

But, nope! The committee says that they’re gonna handle everything. The Democratic ticket in the hands of the few. That’s today’s democracy for ya.

Even worse — why do the rules say the delegates get stripped? Why can’t everyone just run amok? That’s democracy.

It’s time to turn this country around :)

One big fact has largely been lost in the recent coverage of the Democratic presidential race: Hillary Rodham Clinton has virtually no chance of winning.

Unless Clinton is able to at least win the primary popular vote — which also would take nothing less than an electoral miracle — and use that achievement to pressure superdelegates, she has only one scenario for victory. An African-American opponent and his backers would be told that, even though he won the contest with voters, the prize is going to someone else.

People who think that scenario is even remotely likely are living on another planet.

It’s nice to see somebody is saying something that I’ve been thinking for the last two months.
