How many words I can fit into the subject line for this post? Aren't you curious too? Is it 100? Or 1000? Could it be 10,000? Could it be 1,000,000? It seems like the title of this post can go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. This is really s

New Clinton Endorsement Today: Me

Indiana: where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?
I can see the future and it scares me. May 6th is fast approaching and it is probably our last real chance for a clean end to the kidney stone that is the Democratic primary. We could finally end the pain...more »

North Carolina: overview of the delegates, the primary, the politics, and the likely results on May 6th
The primary has finally (painfully) reached my home state of North Carolina. It is the single largest delegate state remaining and most experts believe (and the polling has indicated) that it'll be a win for Obama. A North Carolina overview:...more »

NBC calls it: Obama wins!
NBC's political director, Chuck Todd, calls the race for pledged delegates "over." In less than three minutes, Todd shows demonstrates why he can now safely call Barack Obama as the winner in the race for the most pledged delegates in the Democratic nomination process. See...more »

Monica-gate and the superdelegates: How Bill's impeachment is relevant in the election
Here's an interesting post from Jake Tapper at ABC News' Political Punch. I've been thinking along the same lines and considering the question: how would the impeachment/Monica episode be addressed if Hillary is the nominee? Tapper's post is titled "On Chelsea,...more »

Bill's impeachment: The scandal that dare not speak its name (full post)
Let me start by saying that Bill Clinton should never have been impeached. It was a vast right wing conspiracy and in my opinion there were not high crimes committed. But let’s all also admit that he did tarnish the office and lied...more »

Yeah, in hindsight, who out there could have predicted back in December '07 that Rush Limbaugh would be mobilizing his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton.

That was an eerie moment...but also good as far as demonstrating how out of touch the GOP is even at a Presidential level.

Thanks for this post articleman - I was hoping someone would tackle this subject.
If I were King of the Democrats, I would:
- abolish all superdelegates
- abolish caucuses
- move the start of primary season back 2-3 months. Does anyone else find it utterly ridiculous that people in New Hampshire are voting for President in the middle of freakin January?! We need a more compact primary season from March - May.
- I like with the idea that four states from different parts of the country lead off the voting (such IA, NH, NV, and SC). But every 4 years 4 new states get to lead. The states would be selected by a distinguished selection committee.
- Keep proportional, district based delegates but also give bigger delegate awards for winning the most total votes in a state.Posted at May 13, 2008 1:58 PM in response to Five Reforms for the Democratic Party's Primary Process

I agree. No caucuses, no supers.

I was there - it was true. I greeted Senator Obama as he stepped off that plane with Wedge and Biggs after one of their AQ hunting trips.
Poor, poor Biggs...we'll never forget you.

Good one. That might win "most awkward moment in the primary."
Maybe I should have had two categories: awards for both the GOP and Dem fields.

That was a stupid thing for BO to say. He would have been to say "I like Hillary and I think she and any of the Democratic nominees here would make a much better President for America than the guy we've had the last 8 years."
