50. There is no aura of perfection around anyone.
There is an aura of inevitabiity around the Clintons. They have said the party rules are not theirs. They have said they will push for Florida delegates. They are fighting the party rules as hard as they can.

I was never that excited about any of them, but I was learning to appreciate the classiness of Obama. Now she will be inevitable.

I hope the party will survive them.
