So it appears that Sen. Clinton is done for. The math just didn't work out. However, the same math wasn't working out months ago. I think I mentioned this before. It hasn't worked in a while. She had no chance to win months ago and she has no chance now. Nothing has change except the date. I would have been just as OK with her as president but the tail end of this campaign has been lame like a civil war veteran.
The point of the primaries is not to win the popular vote! If it had been, Obama's campaign would have organized differently. In any case, Sen. Clinton is NOT winning the popular vote. She only is if you don't count caucus states. And, AND, if you give Sen. Clinton all of her Michigan and Florida votes and Obama NONE. Does that make sense? NO. It is absurd. Everyone agreed not to campaign in Florida because of Florida moving up the primary. Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan for the same reason. Sen. Clinton put her name on the ballot but said it was just a technicality, that she wouldn't make any claims on it. Until she was losing she meant. That is major weak sauce. To then rile people up claiming that they have been disenfranchised is a rotten thing to do. These are the primaries. You are not being disenfranchised when your state party violates primary rules and is punished. The nominee is not selected by a constitutional process full of your guaranteed rights. It is a silly game being played by the campaign. A silly game being played in a serious election.

i'm disenchanted by the whole thing. i may not even vote. ::gasp::
That is insane! Would you prefer McCain to win? No Catherine. No!!!!
you're right, i wouldn't. that man would be the creepiest of monster villains in a bad horror flick. but you know, maybe i will go the stone cold way. can't i just check the box that says abstain? that i will not submit a vote for ludicrousness?
I'm very upset that I wont be able to vote for the perfect candidate too, the one who has exactly my opinions and never makes compromises and doesn't really want to be president anyway but is so qualified and compassionate, how could he say no, and also shits gold which he distributes to the poor and will legalize full gay civil rights as he resurrects the Kennedys and MLK with his amazing powers. Oh yeah, and he's Mexican and Jewish. And made out of chocolate.
