1. very soon my dear partisan this will happen
As you have noticed, Obama is now taking on McCain and has put Hillary safely behind him in the rearview. The supers are getting itchy and are almost ready to come public. Hillary will not get any benefit from Florida nor Michagan it appears.

Give it a few weeks more and el assbo's head will explode when he can no longer use Hillary to "bloody up Obama" for them.

2. Kinda hard to end this process in mid-course.
Hillary could do that, but I would personally resist any attempt by the party to short-circuit the system.

9. I think you miss my point entirely.
The principle is more important than the occasion. Yes, I believe Hillary is damaging us by staying in, but the remedy would be worse than the problem it is intended to cure. I don't want to hand power over to "our leaders." I very much distrust those leaders, and even if I didn't, I'd want the power to stay with the electorate. A prime condition for the electorate to have power is for there to be elections. This is not the only condition, but it is obviously a necessary one.

5. Then why are they still promoting Clinton?
I mean, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, these places are ALL helping Hillary.

And they want Obama?

Where are you getting that?

4. screw rush....he isn't any more against us now than before...
he can play this two ways and still keep his crowd happy...which, for him, is all it is really about...

he couldn't care less what is good for America...if it doesn't fill his coffers...


he hates us for profit...there is nothing we can do to offset that motive...

we can't get him off the air, because we are not the ones keeping him on the air...

it's just business...it sucks...but it is just the business of cranking out the profits...and any harm to the fabric of our society is just 'collateral damage' and part of the 'cost of doing business'....

still....fuck him

8. That's why I like HRC. She will do anything to win...........Even if
maybe/possibly she splits the party for years. This Scorch earth policy of hers I fear and love at the same time.

She will do any low down dirty thing to to beat McCain. She plays dirty and hard just like the GOP.

13. The logical solution for NEXT time,is this
CLOSED primaries/caucuses

No new registrations within 6 months of the elections..

If someone's an independent and wants to vote in a party, they have to choose 6 months out.. Not much room for mischief there..

if they get all fired up over a candidate, but are not able to register in time, then they can work for that candidate and help them be the one they can vote for in November..

or maybe just have a national one-day primary:evilgrin:

I prefer a 6-region 6 month primary set up

starting in Feb..with number order chosen by lot.
