So, HRC will dismiss the popular vote, destroy the party, alienate all voters, and lose the general election to McCain rather than concede to Obama? This surprises you exactly how?
So, Obama will condemn HRC's use of super-delegates while hypocritically holding onto his from states that swung HRC? This surprises you exactly how?
Let me re-address my Obama enthusiasm (beyond my boredom w/Clinton Family Reality Show re-runs):
He's no more noble Jeebus than she venal shrew. Both want to be Universal Overlord; if either didn't do whatever it takes to win - including but not limited to ignoring popular will and bribing minor power-brokers with ambassadorships and cabinet posts to portraying oneself as an innocent but charismatic messiah to pretending to be a mom first, a politician second - neither deserves to win.
One of them, if elected, will choose the replacements for Ruth Bader Ginsberg and John Paul Stevens and perhaps others. I'm dope enough to think they'll pick people less asshole than a Republican would, and still dope enough to think that matters.
My Obama-enthusiasm's core?
He might win a general election. Probably not, but maybe.
She cannot. Will not. Will never be president. Even if she wins the nomination "fair and square." Even if Obama is her running-mate. (Though for the reason-SCOTUS, I'd vote for her this November. Dope that I am.)

- This is soooo important, since CIA interrogators only know this one method of torture.
- I mean, it's not like the CIA would destroy evidence.
- Ruling-class unleashed.

- One can be glad this guy is dead and simultaneously decry the policies that produce his followers.
- Obama as new Coke.
- John Edwards, man of integrity. (Though, luckily for Obama and HRC, Edwards is now legal in Texas.)
