OK - I'm starting to draft an apology letter to Michale - the protest vote is a lot stronger this year than before.

Dom't get me wrong Michale my friend, I'm convinced we'll be saying "President Clinton" for a third time, ... but then, I'm usually wrong ;)

Never underestimate a pissed off American...

I mean look at it.. The 2008 Americans were ALSO pissed off and they took a chance on an inexperienced nobody who had some lofty words....

Boy, what a let down...

Now Americans are REALLY pissed off and they are going to go with another outside who actually has experience...

My musing was more about the general overall reporting of the HRC campaign by many in the media to involve the super delegates. It has been a peave of mine for awhile, while sure the super-delegates are part of the equation, I also wonder if it skews nomination results after a point because of the tendency to report the super-delegate numbers lumped in with the pledged totals making it seem like one or the other candidate is way ahead, when infarct the results are close amongst the voters, that is...thus ensuring that the establishment choice wins no matter what. To me supers should not even count in the process until it is clear that a majority cannot be reached to secure the nomination.
