9. Now we will have to see if the Democrats can rally behind democracy.
Or will we stand by once again as a megalomaniac dupes the system to disenfranchise an entire nation.

Delegates or no delegates, convention or no convention - she's in it to win it.

23. This is CNN's announcement. Obama campaign hasn't said anything yet today on the matter.
I'm starting to think you just lie reflexively.

34. Then be more careful with your punctuation marks.
You made it look like you were quoting him in the title and adding your opinion in the body of the message.

I didn't mean to snap at you or anything, Toobin just bugs me. Lol. Sorry. I can still respond what David Gergen said, sorry that I didn't have the exact quote...but that's basically what I heard Gergen say.

and did you hear David Gergen's response to him? He basically said "You're fucking nuts, there is no way she is catching up at this point and it is real metric."

42. I was hoping that Skinner would have called it last night
I guess his marker is 2026, or whatever number the rules committee comes out with today. In the meantime, DU is being used to tear down our nominee. :(

38. It sure is...
and when I step back from all the DU melodrama and chattering class drama on the TV, I can see that the Democratic party and the country has much to be proud of tonight.
