I ran across this longish article about the gender/race splits that are appearing in the Dem primary process. So much for bringing the country together. It's disheartening to say the least.
And from the department of disenfranchisement and dirty caucusing, there is this nausea-inducing anecdote. And this all-too-common theme among centrist Dems and independents. [Apologies for continually going parasitic on Andrew Sullivan's blog, but he has a huge demographic cross-section that write in. And I'm nobody's go-to guy on this stuff, so I get no email! [Update: all apologies to the reader that wrote in. You know who you are.]]
The Clintons are going to win the nomination and lose the general election. This is a real forest-for-the-trees moment for the Democratic party. In general, I can do without political parties - especially the two we have. But I'm committed. I cannot vote Repub. Cannot. If I have to, I'll choke down my loathing, and vote for HRC in the fall, likely gagging all the way. I have to believe that HRC is lesser of two evils against a Republican. But just barely.
My only hope? Positions and perceptions in this race have been changing fast. If HRC gets inevitable again, there will be a backlash. Fingers crossed.
