Ferraro made a boneheaded move.

And Hillary, too, for supporting it.

Bill Clinton made a boneheaded move with his LBJ statment.

But because of my avatar, my opinion is easily dismissed. So let me be the first to say:

Obama made a boneheaded move (not) handling the McClurkin thing. His advisors have been saying some stupid shit, lately.

We have to rein-in our OWN candidates... like, NOW. Instead, through our half-assed defenses of these actions, it's becoming a pissing contest of which candidate is the least damaging. Obama supporters, we have to be upfront about our candidates weaknesses. Hillary supporters should do the same. Then, and only then, will we stop this race to the gutter. But as long as we defend this when our favorite candidate does it, and use the other candiate's mistakes as some way to gain an advantage, we're on a path to what, exactly?

In a couple of months we'll have ONE nominee and McCain. It's time to express our displeasure of the way this primary is being run, and work to position our party for a win in November.

I don't care who started it, or who's doing it more. We're on the wrong path, and we have to make it clear as voters and Democrats that it's not okay. I have no hidden agenda for saying this, other than really really wanting to beat McCain in Nov.

Peace.

1. let her keep talking

this strategy has more lethality when it is employed the weekend before an election. Obama now has 6 weeks to reach out to humanities better angels, always the harder job.

2. She's obviously getting some sort of foothold with her recent tactics.

Repeating them may just make them stick. Then what? We either have a nominee who's damaged goods, or one who's alienated half of her own party.

3. Kick.

at least somebody call me a wuss for admitting fault.
