Okay. Take a deep breath. Done. Still fucking furious. It has been a long hard slog for teh Clintonites, as well as the rest of us. Robbery in 2000.  Dissapointment in 2004. 2008 seems normal at first.  Starts out about the delegates.  Nope. When the pledged delegates are not there for her its about the supers.  Not so fast. When the supers are not there its about the popular vote.  Well, hold on. When the popular vote (including all states- even those that caucus) is not there its about the "popular vote" in states that she agreed would not count when she began the campaign.

Fratricide is painful. No,its apparently very Democratic.  This from No Quarter, long a refuge of teh Clintonauts, seems to reach a remarkable level of ugly desperation, even for those who seem to prefer voting for 4 more years of McSame over Obama.  Look at your own peril http://noquarterusa.net/...

Well, it appears that Giuliani's harshest critics will come not from the left but from the hard right.  James Dobson, a man too busy spreading the gospel to de-gayify his supposedly good buddy Ted Haggard, recently, and definitively, shat on Giuliani:

My conclusion from this closer look at the current GOP front-runner comes down to this: Speaking as a private citizen and not on behalf of any organization or party, I cannot, and will not, vote for Rudy Giuliani in 2008. It is an irrevocable decision. If given a Hobson's – Dobson's? – choice between him and Sens. Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama, I will either cast my ballot for an also-ran – or if worse comes to worst – not vote in a presidential election for the first time in my adult life. My conscience and my moral convictions will allow me to do nothing else.

 That's gonna leave a mark. More on the flip side.

In reading my local paper's most emailed stories I ran across a gem of an interview with Dennis Miller from about at week ago wherein he explains why he converted to wingnuttery.

Q: Why has your humor taken a turn toward the conservative?
A: They bombed those two buildings, remember? I woke up the next day and had an epiphany. I want our guy to go kill terrorists. It's that simple. ...

Well, its been five and half years of failure, is it still really that simple in Miller's mind?
Analysis below the fold.

General (I am loathe to call him an attorney) Gonzales and the Republicans are so concerned about minority voting rights that they are suing Phillidelphia for failing to provide ballots in Spanish.  http://news.yahoo.com/...  

I am profoundly moved by their concern which comes on the eve of the election.  Can you say Fla 2000, Ohio 2004?  the ghost of Katherine Harris lives.

Want to have some fun? Here is a poll sponsored by the St. Louis Post Dispatch, St. Louis' biggest paper, regarding our good friend and "protector of the Pages" John Shimkus.  He lives in the St. Louis Metro area on the Illinois side and is a raging dillweed. The poll asks whether he should resign as head of the House Page Board which, in typical republican fashion, he says he will not. http://www.stltoday.com/

Apparently, Rightie has once again deployed the tried and true maxim when the going gets tough (i.e. you get caught repeatedly soliciting sex from a child who works for you, you get caught illegally purchase narcotic prescription drugs, you get caught taking bribes from a Rovian agent in exchange for your vote or you get caught displaying an egregious racist streak) the "tough" get to rehab.
