now, "get off my lawn!"

Seriously, I thought he would win the election in 1972.

And you know what? I'm still proud of both my vote and my fervent optimism.

...behind an Edwards endorsement have been greatly exaggerated.

He's past his expiration date on endorsement value.  It was milked for all it was worth early on, with both BO and HRC visiting him multiple times at his home.  

There's a reason he and Elizabeth announced their intentions to not endorse anyone... and it wasn't based on the qualities of the candidates.

I don't think Edwards has nearly anywhere close to the influence that people think he does.

or, Hillary's 19th nervous breakdown.

reporter: Senator Clinton, what do you think about George McGovern announcing today that he will switch his support from yourself to Senator Obama, and that you should now drop out for the good of the Democratic party?

Hillary: Well, at the end of the day, George McGovern is a man, and like a typical man, he hates me, like all men who hate a strong woman like myself. So, I discount him on that basis.

reporter: Thank you senator.

McCarthy 1968, McGovern 1972.  Hillary did work for McGovern in 1972.

until the convention in 68. She hated Nixon, who she had as a youth championed, because she perceived him as racist, and was a Rockefeller supporter. By 68 she had moved from Goldwater Girl to moderate Republican.  By 72 she converted herself into a 'liberal'. She herself said her mind was conservative but her heart was liberal. Looks like her heart lost this battle.

to Barack being president will be the marginalization of Carville.  

That could be especially said for Mark Penn, who is a pure marketing guy who sees politics and political candidates as just the packaging & marketing of a product, like scented laundry detergent.

That is why Billary used Penn, because Billary also does not give a damn for the American voter. To Billary and Penn, the American voter is just a consumer to be manipulated into buying a product.

The can't just come out and say.

But last night everyone on hillaryis44 said screw it...what do we have to lose, let's go for it.

Between bouts of calling for Donna Brazile's death.  Lame.

And the American people made a serious mistake by picking someone who looked tough instead of someone who actually was tough. Nixon's tapes show just how emotionally insecure he was.

It wouldn't be the first time the electorate made that mistake and -- as you know from the past eight years -- it wouldn't be the last.

There shouldn't be any superdelegates at all. The rules for delegate selection developed in 1970 were designed to include under-represented groups: women, minorities, youth. Because the superdelegate system has so many "white, male" members it actually overrides that and the pledged delegate balance has to be adjusted to maintain overall representation.

What ends up happening is that the unpledged delegates are still overwhelmingly older, whiter, and more manly.

We shouldn't have SDs with the power to overturn the voters. And the SDs we have should be elected by "the people," not Dem insiders.

is on my list also, although he has said he will support the popular vote leader, IIRC.

As far as changing her mind: If she loses already committed delegates to Obama, the chain reaction will be swift.  Each switcher, after all, represents a change of two in the vote totals (one less for her, one more for Obama).  Inevitability will set in awfully fast, and I would expect that supers would flock to Obama, in part not to get shut out of the patronage come November.

Daschle endorsed Obama over a year ago.
