#1 That he should now be punished for playing by the rules and she should be rewarded for skirting them is unconscionable.

Just like the method of counting ballots in Florida was OK when it elected Bill in '92 and '96, but needed to be changed after the votes were cast in 2000, right? [rhetorical question highlighting that it's really only about POWER not about the rendered excuses]

#3 To borrow from Chris Hitchens, Sully wants to have Obama's baby. "Not that there's anything wrong with that" ...

#5 Theres alot one could criticize Hillary for, shes no saint, but I can't for the life of me see where theres a moral obligation to end a campaign, even one that has only a minuscule chance of winning, before the primaries are done for. Kinda ironic how everyone is crying their eyes out for Senator Kennedy, who - guess what - took his campaign all the way to the 1980 Dem convention, with a minority of delegates, on grounds that the Carter delegates should have broken their pledges cause he was - yes - more electable. and the whole thing helped elect reagan.

I guess the problem is, if you actually REMEMBER the 1980 convention, youre an eevil baby boomer throwback or something.

As for Sully, way back in the "80s and '90s he was unreadable - an intolerant screechy Thatcherite, with a hard on for Reagan, (and certain obscure British 19th c political theorists)and a certain gay christian schtick, who went on to Clinton bashing. Unreadable. After 9/11 he was occassionally interesting - 9/11 made him think about a new set of issues. Since 2004 or so, hes gotten all screetchy again
and is again unreadable - every other post seemed to be about either torture or "Christianists" with oodles of handwringing of all kinds. I stopped reading him awhile ago. Obama vs Clinton has apparently given him a chance to combine his Anti-Clintonist shtick ("OMG, they wont let US marry, while THOSE guys make a mockery of marriage") with his new found dovish shtick.

Whatever

#6 I say that at the convention, every demonrat there gets a knife....they lock the doors and whichever candidate has supporters alive at the end, wins.

And if they put it on Pay Per View, I'll watch!

Demonrat politics at it's finest!
