Reply #7: K&R. great editorial Nance

I just read this whole thing aloud to my girlfriend and her sister, both strong self-willed women, and they are in complete agreement with everything you wrote, emphatically so. Particularly for them, they're saying right now that more than anything else they're first and foremost sad about how she has abandoned her integrity and sacrificed a respectable legacy, and with it women's faith in that achievement, to such an extreme and shocking extent. And, similarly, that Bill has also lost as much if not more respect in so indulging in such negativity and hubris.

For myself, I'll add that your final contradiction, on decrying "disenfranchisement" even whilst provoking a usurping of majorities across the board (in pledged delegates, total delegates, total states, popular vote, etc -- even if MI and FL were counted and even if the uncommitted MI votes were not hypothetically awarded to Obama {see: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5188613}) encapsulates it all so well, in a way that is too disappointing and worrisome to either wrangle over or even simply signalize. It's gotten to the point that I just can't wait till it's over, an ironical sad twist to what otherwise has been the favorite and most inspiring election cycle of my political life.
