Move On (none / 0)

It seems there is a lot of stuff here.  A lot totally unrelated, but interesting.  The main point was that we've been accustomed to how that game is played and by all accounts, they threw everything at him and that should have done him in.  But it DIDN'T.  He was still standing and the numbers didn't waver.  And now, we should take heart in that and push the media to stop dismissing us.  We have proven that we are NOT dismissable.  That's what happened. 

Now, you can bitch and moan about 'the process', whine about the 'unfairness', or whatever.  They are all distractions.  And I wouldn't worry about the 'electability' of the guy who's raised more money than God, and has done it from "we, the people"  instead of corporate puppet masters.  I'm not a wide eyed school girl, but I KNOW the best candidate when he emerges.   That's simple reality looking you in the face.  

It is hard for people to change.  The switching of the old guard is a difficult transition, but that old machine is done, time to get with it and move on.

Good points (none / 0)
I am proud that he didn't give in to the whole "populist" gas-tax thing that wouldn't have saved low-income people like myself much, if anything. And of the fact that the whole Rev. Wright thing went all-out full bore and Obama was able to weather that storm and that "regular" folk mostly decided it was not relevant.

But most of all, I'm proud of people not giving in to a retarded "electability" argument from elites who have no friggin idea who is actually electable. You're absolutely correct, we can not be simply dismissed. We decide electability. You know, we the people?

Vote for the person you think best represents your favored policies, the one you think will make the best president.
