Who wants to bet this ends badly?

Saturday, the Democratic National Committee will meet to discuss what to do with Michigan and Florida’s delegates.
You remember, these are the delegates that were thrown out because of some stupid rule about moving up your primary, but whatever. Everyone — except the states, of course — signed off on it.
Until now.
The Clinton camp now wants [...]

Why do you still have a voice?

Geraldine Ferraro, she of ‘Obama is only in his position because he’s black’ fame, is still blabbering. Now, however, it’s in print. In a Boston Globe editorial piece, Ferraro continues to point out the sexism in this year’s campaign, as well as Obama’s camp continually playing the race card.

We have a winner … right?

It’s only fitting that I start this blog on the night that Barack Obama moves significantly closer to grabbing the democratic nomination. He dominated in North Carolina, and has pulled much closer in Indiana (with votes still out).
I’m all about full disclosure, and I’ll come right out and say it in the second paragraph of [...]
