Gone. For good.

How's THAT for something to look forward to?

5. BREAKING NYT : If Obama wins, NO UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
This is the last paragraph of Krugman's piece today

This is the last paragraph:
If you combine the economic analysis with these political realities, here's what I think it says: If Mrs. Clinton gets the Democratic nomination, there is some chance -- nobody knows how big -- that we'll get universal health care in the next administration. If Mr. Obama gets the nomination, it just won't happen.

3. We called for change in 2006
and it was ignored. Why would expect Hillary or Obama to do differently? I am a doubter now.

4. I believe such concepts are highly delusional.
The very idea that the political regime can be changed by someone wanting to work with those in DC is completely contrary to reason.

7. Hillary is the last piece of the corrupt DLC machine. She is the only person who takes money from
federal lobbyists. Altho to be fair, its because normal people do not donate to her. She is funded by the insurance companies, for the insurance companies.
