When I first came home from college, I lived in a group house with some folks who loved to play bridge. I'd go along with it, but was never as good as my house mates. One friend, Tommy, was good at counting cards. We'd get about 2/3 of the way through a rubber, and he'd say "The rest of them (the tricks) are ours." At first I thought he was trying to cheat, so asked that we play it through. He was always right. Hillary, the rest of them are ours.

I think the first paragraph of the ellen malcom piece really sums up the problem with hillary and much of politics today. Politics is viewed as a sporting event where its all about money and material victories, instead of a social duty.

It's not "math" it's "arithmetic" which any third grader can do.
Stop the madness, Hillary!

Since John (or Joe) took down the response thread to EL, thought I'd post this about Obama's alleged "inexperience" which was painstakingly documented on Daily Kos:
It's apparent that he's a skilled legislator and more qualified than plenty who have run for prez before (including the current WH occupant, of course).

Looks like Obama's General Election organization is going to be big:
Many people across the country say they'd like to vote for a woman, just not "that" woman, when talking about Hillary.
Yet, the Emily's List people seem to be saying they can't support just any woman, only Hillary.
Weird.

Thanks for that link about Obama. It just reinforces my thoughts that he really is for change. I thought he did a wonderful job getting out the vote for the primary and now this.

Here's my personal opinion of EMILY's List: They have become a bloated, special interest fundraising machine that rewards the mucky mucks higher up in the organization while accomplishing very little considering the money they take in. The whole while they have lost sight of their original (and very commendable) purpose and mission. The same can be said for the Human Rights Campaign. They started downhill after getting Joe Solomnese from EMILY's List. NARAL is really starting to suck big time too. I used to give a lot of money to all three. I haven't for a while now.
Some might think that sounds "right-wing", but trust me, I'm a progressive liberal to the hilt.
