2. Funny, I think we all really wanted to like Clinton
because there she was, a woman-tough, funny and smart and cracking through the glass ceiling. Then her DLC campaign team got to work and she started voting stupidly in Congress and saying stupid things on the campaign trail, trying to appeal to the mythical GOP crossover voter more than her own party.

I sincerely hope she's the last candidate to have her campaign torpedoed from within by a DLC campaign team.

Edwards was forced out early in the game because the DLC thought that of course all his votes were white male votes and would go to the white establishment candidate, Clinton. The tone deaf DLC misread the party, as usual.

I'm not surprised Stark endorsed Obama, but I doubt that's the kind of endorsement he wants right now. Look at what the press did to him when Hamas representatives opined that he would be a better person to negotiate with.

All he needs are the sour old atheists at DU to endorse him. It's fortunate that we don't march in ranks and jerk our knees in unison. At least the gutter press won't be able to call him an atheist on top of being a fringe Christian and America hating Muslim.
