A funny thing happened on the way to the coronation...

Hillary got the same delegates for New Hampshire as Bernie, and he beat her by 22 percentage points. Do that a few times and this will get tense.

Now the reverse is true - if Clinton starts really winning, then the will of the primary voters in the states and that of the delegates will not be misaligned, and all will be fine in the Democratic party. But a misalignment is a possibility from where we are now, looking forward.

I guess you missed the details in the article regarding superdelegates and that of course they could end up sanders'?

I really enjoyed this piece by Gawker writer Tom Scocca about his first-hand and varying-degrees-of-second-hand encounters with the Clintons:

Of course they might, but as of right now there is a conflict between the apparent will of the people of the party and the superdelegates. Everything I pointed out was predicated on that continuing too long.

If that is your definition of someone losing it you have led a VERY VERY sheltered life.. And I can't stand the lady cause her and her husband epitomizes those using government office to enrich themselves.

Indeed. Presidential candidate shaking hands on a rope line furrows brow, raises voice and jabs finger. Classic Bubba technique, including obfuscation and straw man attacks.

Wait . . . having a flashback
