5. Honestly, it is only newsworthy to ...
hardcore political junkies and internet wastrels. Only reason to pay attention to it is local/state races.

7. Barack leads Clinton in Oregon by a mile, probably more. Why can't HRC win in NW?

12. Hey, that's perfectly all right
Y'all are pretty much irrelevant to us, too. I suspect, however, that news of the Oregon primary results will garner a better spot in our local, small-town WV paper than page A-11, next to the news of the sewer rate increase. So does that make us better informed?

Next week I will let you know what coverage is given to the Oregon primary here and we can then compare notes.

:hi:

20. I'm not a supporter of a candidate promoting a SOVIET-style election in Michigan's results as valid.

23. Rephrase your response so it is
understandable. Are you saying that voters of Michigan and Florida are NOT to be heard in this primary? Cuz that sounds pretty Soviet to me.

24. The Michigan primary had one fucking name on the ballot. That's called a Soviet-style election.
MI and FL will be seated at the convention, but the current outcome of Michigan's primary will NOT stand. Obama will get delegates from that state.
