A question about that magic number

2008-05-14T19:18:30Z

So we all know the Clinton campaign is trying to set the magic number at 2,209 or whatever instead of 2,205. My question is, do you think it's going to happen? The committee is to meet on MI and FL on May 31st, but does anyone know if they will get to determine then and there whether MI and FL will count in any manner. And if they do, will this not indeed affect the number of delegates needed to win, likely favoring Clinton?

This is not to stir any hate-mongering among the Obama people against Clinton, but to ask a legitimate question. What happens on May 31st, and does Clinton still have a chance in this sense?

Reading the political blogs (and comments) saddens me

I am a young man, a college student. The Democratic Nomination process has drawn me, like so many other young people today, into the political world. I find myself not only reading every news source available, but also the blogs and the comments of others.

I am a Clinton supporter. I have my reasons. I understand most of the people on TPM are Obama supporters, and I respect that. But I am saddened at the amount of disrespect people often have for each other in these settings. The political process has brought out a lot of emotion on both sides of the debate, but we need to remember that regardless of who wins, we are all in this together - and I am not speaking in a Democratic party sense, but as the human race. It is important that, when we make our comments, we remember to respect the opinion of others and response with intelligence rather than emotion and blind-devotion to whichever cause or candidate we support. Only in this way will we be able to progress.

I hope this doesn't come across as a pointless post, but it's really bothered me to see so many people forego civility to promote their opinion and degrade the opinion of others.
