And he's running against a woman who's family money has been used to fund a massive AIDS foundation that has made a concrete different in the lives of over a million Africans with AIDS. Basically one sat on his ass regards AIDS and listened to and supported a man spreading lies that helped no one, the other actually did stuff and made a real difference in suffering people's lives. But then I guess I'm just a silly progressive to care about stuff like that.

Some people will move away from Obama--the question is, how many. I'm not much of a fan of the superdelegate process because they are basically asked to do one of two things: 1) follow what voters have already done or 2) decide that the voters were wrong. The first is not particularly useful and the second seems borderline anti-democratic. All the same, I'm glad that many are thoughtfully considering their decision or thoughtfully considering how to cover their political hindquarters. Since over two hundred superdelegates decided before the voting, I guess that's progress. Maybe the Wright thing will be a significant factor in voting going forward.

For what Bu$hCo has done in my name, I, too, god damn America. If you are as progressive as you claim to be, I'll bet you agree more with Wright than with the now unemployed Mark Penn, oh, sorry, that is three month old news, now isn't it? Janis:

Not a single voter has gone to the polls since that one broke. They are scared <i>shitless</i>. That's why Brazile, Kerry, and Kennedy have been so shrill and hysterical (GAWD, I love using those words in this context) about her GETTING THE HELL OUT before anyone goes to the polls armed with that information. Especially since, AFAIK, there are no more caucus states left. It's only primaries from here on.
