Every attempt to discuss issues on this or other forums here is swamped by the juggernaut of Clinton angst.
I completely agree with everyone who says that’s what we should be doing. However, NR makes a very good point — the undecids and lurkers need to get an opposing point of view and the Obama side is in odd position of being a majority that has to keep explaining itself to its own side.
I don’t expect anything else from Republicans — in fact, I expect them to relish the ongoing battle. (As NR said previously, she and I disagree about everything political and agree about many things non-political. I’m sure she scratches her head when she reads what I write as I do when I read her.)
Here’s something we all need to know and internalize: It will be clearer after the Rules committee meetings this weekend. Clinton does not think she’s going to lose. I believe the party regulars, the remaining supers, do not want to nominate Obama and are desperately looking for a reason not to do so. And I believe their reason is simple, elegant, unfettered racism. Hell, it’s bad enough that they might have to nominate a white woman — at least they all have one of those around the house and they aren’t as scary. And sorry if that seems disrespectful of women — that is an old canard, accepted by women and blacks in the 70’s who understood the point of being pitted against each other and resisted.
