No matter how you feel about the eventual Democratic nominee (Hillary or Obama), today was a bad day for democracy. Not once, but twice (at least, the day is still young) AP tried to call this race before the voters had a chance to get to the polls. The media shamelessly tried to influence the results [...]

Arianna Huffington has declared war on the Superdelegates: “Stop Yelling at Hillary to Stand Down and Start Yelling at the Superdelegates to Stand Up.”
The Democratic leadership — starting with Pelosi, Reid, and Dean — should begin working behind the scenes to get all uncommitted supers to immediately commit. Let Puerto Rico, South Dakota, and Montana [...]

Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.
