[...] The Editors on the benefits of a long and contested primary. It’s democratic. True, it would not be ideally democratic if the ’superdelegates’ got together in a smoke-filled room to choose the eventual nominee, but it would be even less democratic if a bunch of retired Iowans, New Hampshites, and perhaps South Carolingians got together in a bunch of retiree-filled rooms and chose the nominee two months ago, which is how it usually goes down. The primary process is carefully tuned to produce a variegated symphony of stupid. At least this one lets everybody vote […] [...]

“But, consider – what if Hillary doesn’t win? I kid – I kid because I love.”

How could she possibly lose? It’s not as if the GOP will bring out the old “You were for the war before you were against it” cudgel. They’d be too ashamed to use that yet again.

This alone is worth every penny I have ever paid to Poorman Enterprises, Inc. Especially “South Carolingians”. That’s the good stuff.

1. We are New Hampshiites.

3. This is correct, although counterintuitive. From a framing standpoint, probably the best thing for the Democrats to do is keep the internecine grenade throwing to a minimum, and the attacks at the level of a dull roar. That way the noise machine stays quiet for now, and little in the way of ammo is provided for later.

They should respond by leaving a flaming bag of shit on the Clinton’s porch, because if the tables were turned, Barack Obama sure as hell would have been out of the race by now.

I swear I never before suffered from CDS, but Hill’s latest strategy of playing up to McCain’s credentials to be president in order to question the viability of her opponent, her party’s likely nominee, is really pissing me off.

“I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.

“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,” she said.

Calling McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee a good friend and a “distinguished man with a great history of service to our country,” Clinton said, “Both of us will be on that stage having crossed that threshold. That is a critical criterion for the next Democratic nominee to deal with.”

This is getting to be like those pileups on the freeway, you just can’t look away. It’ll be interesting to see how Team Obama responds.

So using your calculator JJ, even if Hill won 60% of every election from here to the convention, then she would still be down 1613-1596. What good would this bring?
