So - What EXACTLY Are You Fighting For?
Clinton and her supporters say they will continue to "fight."

Okay.

For what?

The popular vote? You know, the one that does not count? The one where Clinton is winning - if you don't count caucus states?

The delegate count? You know, the one Obama is totally winning in all categories? That delegate count?

The super delegates? You know, the ones you hope overturn the will of the voters that have so far elected more delegates than Clinton has?

Michigan and Florida? You know, the states BOTH candidates agreed had broken the rules, and were thus duly sanctioned? That Michigan and Florida? You know, if this is such a big "civil rights" issue, then why are you wanting to exclusively disenfranchise Obama voters by giving Clinton votes in a state Obama was not even on the ballot?

"When you see a good fight, get in it." -- Vernon Johns (look him up)

I don't think Vernon Johns would believe the fight outlined above qualifies as a "good" fight. And if this is truly what you are fighting for (and it sure looks that way), then I think you should consider schooling yourself a bit on the Democratic process, and the Democratic Party.

Here, let me help you get started:
