I have a lot to say about this, so much so that it's trapped in my throat. Thoughts of entitlement, of the psychology of dynasticism, of the real nasty and pernicious kinds of racism...just too much. Too much to express in a mere diary, too much to boil down to a stupid online flame-war. Maybe my race colors me when I hear things like this and just bristle and cringe.
I think I'm going to let it just speak for itself, except to add that if it comes down to Clinton-McCain, I doubt very much I'll be voting Democratic this year.
Solis Doyle’s departure capped a rough weekend for Clinton after she lost the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska, Washington state, Maine and the Virgin Islands to Obama.
She said she never expected to do well in any of those contests, even though she had been favored to win Maine. Clinton repeated her criticism that the caucus system is undemocratic and caters mostly to party activists.
As for Louisiana, "You had a very strong and very proud African- American electorate, which I totally respect and understand," Clinton said.
UGH.
