US style capitalism is unsustainable, environmentally destructive, and culturally immoral. It's time for a more equitable distribution of wealth in America, as well as the rest of the world. It's vitally important that humanity discover a steady-state and sustainable lifestyle and economic system.

I hate when people say that. It's such inane logic.
People had a choice between two Democrats and they chose one.
That's how primaries work.
That doesn't mean, if that person's not the nominee in November, they'll automatically change parties.

The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.
Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.

No matter what the high-priced political operatives (from both camps) may think, it is not a disadvantage that Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton share many of the same essential values and sensible policy prescriptions. It is their strength, and they are doing their best to make voters forget it. And if they think that only Democrats are paying attention to this spectacle, they’re wrong.
emphasis mine.
I have to say I agree with them. As a lifelong Democrat, I was disgusted listening to media "gods" tonight talking about how divided we are, how much we distrust each other (Clinton supporters and Obama supporters) when we all know damn well that either one of them would be better then McCain.
I will be working my tail off between now and May 6 for Barack Obama. But once our party has decided on a nominee - I will be working my tail off. I hope it will be for Barack Obama. If it's for Hillary Clinton, for a while, I may have to grit my teeth a bit and remind myself, "better than McCain". But it won't take that long. Not that long at all.
I was more ticked off at Main Stream Media than anything else - telling us how we're so divided. Come down here to NC and see how divided we are, Chris Matthews!

Emphasis (and typo correction) mine.
I'm not convinced that we, collectively, know that. I don't mean that in the sense that maybe McCain is not so bad. I mean that in the sense that maybe we -- both Clinton supporters and Obama supporters -- don't realize (or won't accept) that either IS better than McCain.
The exit polls from PA point to a disturbing trend. There is a demographic divide in the Democratic Party, and the candidates aren't doing anything to bridge it.
But the contest appears to have left a bad taste in the mouth of many voters: Eleven percent of those voting in the Democratic race said they would vote for McCain over Clinton. Another 6 percent said they would stay home in a race between McCain and Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady.
Ten percent of Democrats said they would sit on their hands in a McCain-Obama race, and 15 percent said they would vote for McCain over the Illinois senator.
Granted, these are PA voters immediately following a contested primary, but it's a dangerous game of chicken for us to be playing.

You see actually Hillary has more votes. Because caucus goers arent people, so their votes dont matter. And some of those states voted for Bush, so they dont matter (still not sure how Florida ends up counting but whatever). And, other states voted for Obama, so obviously those votes dont count either.
Do a little creative subtraction and what do you know, Hillary wins by a landslide!

Endorses Perdue. I'd consider that a biggie, for those who are keeping score.
It's a biggie, indeed.

Great Win for Obama
To cut a 20-point deficit in half despite Wright-gate, Bitter-gate, and ABC-gate.
Great
He lost a state needed for winning the Presidential election.
That's Ridiculous

my bad
He could win the Dakotas (even Daschle could not do this), Mississippi, Montana and Utah. Who cares about Ohio or Penn.
We all care about OH or PA.
But we also care about MI, MT, and UT. And, I hate to point this out, NC. Hence the name of the blog.

Me too
You don't know me well enough to say I am not the kind of person who makes sacrifices in the name of electing democrats. I do!
I just want to win.
I never said that you weren't.
Sorry if it seemed I were implying that.

so lets
just end it all before all Americans have had a chance to vote. Right?
I mean
It ends may 6, 2008
No.
The primary in NC is on May 6, 2008. Why are you so bitter?
