What does that have to do with Obama's attitude and/or position on equal rights?
Besides nothing?
One would think a gay person would be a slight bit more sensitive to guilt by association and smears.

jarotra - I rather thought that we had a middle way - between a winner take all, like the Republicans, who don't give one shit about balancing the votes among differing populations; and the old back room deal.
I can't understand what the fuck everyone is so excited about except that for the first time in literally a decade, virtually every state has had some sort of role to play in the primary.
Man some people are whiners - in '04 Texas was a deadzone - no candidates, not enough signs for candidates; our primary votes meant nothing. I haven't even fucking had a Democrat representing me in any government until I picked up a Texas state rep, finally, AFTER Howard Dead took over and made every state count - starting in '06.
What the hell - why is everyone whining? The Clintons and the DLC did Boutique Campaigning that left out more than half the goddamn states. What the hell is the matter with everyone? Howard had candidates running in every state now, people campaign in every state and territory - Jesus Christ on a Jet Ski!!
This the most democratic damn primary I've seen.

I've taken to banging my forehead on my keyboard.
This hasn't been said above 2 or 3000 times now. And still they com marching over the hill, the tattered flag of the original 13 colonies whipping in the wind, playing "Yankee Doodle" on the fife and the drum.
I wish I had a musket...

RaeK - it's an honor to be called arrogant and tiny-brained by you.
I'd cut me own throat if I thought you approved of one thing about me.

There is no guaranteed right to vote in a primary. None. This is not a governmental function. The Democratic Party is like the Rotary Club. It's a private organization and it gets to set the fucking rules that everybody has to play by.
Dean has bent over backwards to try to accommodate the Democrats in MI and FL. Ultimately, however, it does not matter, because this was not an election and people cannot be "disenfranchised" where there is no right to vote and there is no right to vote in a primary.
