Wendy Davis is Texas Progressive Alliance's 'Texan of Year'

Big surprise, eh?

I totally get that

After hearing Al From and other Third Wayers talk about their beliefs -- and their (relative to mine, yours, and others like us) control over Democratic Party developments with regard to presidential nominations...

... well, I just don't see Bernie going for that. I could be wrong.

There's a greater chance Elizabeth Warren fits into that coat than Sanders. But she isn't going to run against Hillary. Sanders might challenge Clinton in a party primary or two, but I would be surprised if he did so after, say, New Hampshire. JMHO.

A more orthodox Democrat, like O'Malley or Schweitzer, stands a better chance of carrying that torch than Sanders. He's more to the left than Kucinich (and there is NOTHING wrong with that).

But he's not a Democrat.

He's an independent who caucuses with the Dems in the Senate, and IIRC (no time for Googling at the moment) is a self-identified socialist.

Yet most respondents to this poll want him to run in the D primary. Isn't that incongruent?

It makes a great stocking stuffer for your right-wing relatives

And not the kiddos, either.

Daily Kos censors cartoonist Ted Rall over ‘ape-like depiction’ of Obama

Mediaite takes the position that Ted Rall might be a racist.

I am certain that there are strong opinions about Daily Kos, censorship, Ted Rall, his cartoons, whether he is a racist, and even Mediaite for that matter... but my question is: does Ted Rall draw Obama as 'ape-like'?

I've read Rall for years now and I just never made that leap. (But maybe it's because I'm a white guy and agree more with Rall's POV on matters political, and less with Obama's.)

As premise, I tend toward devaluing Daily Kos and the mob mentality they occasionally demonstrate in this particular matter. Remember they got Scott Prouty, the guy who filmed Romney's 47% video, banned due to the "self-policing standards" the members there exhibit. So perhaps my overriding bias is a derogatory view of DK.

Lots of moving parts here, but to distill: Is Ted Rall a bigot? Does he draw Obama looking simian? If he does, is that worthy of being censored at Kos -- or even here, for that matter? I tend to answer 'no' to those three questions.

Am I wrong?
