Just because all my brilliant comments deserve to be repeated:
IMPEACHMENT WOULD GIVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOTAL ADVANTAGE OVER THE REPUBLICANS. Call nancy pelosi @1-202-225-0100 and DEMAND IMPEACHMENT. DC business hours only, call ofter, and spread it around.
Start with Conyers.

6 Weeks in Philadelphia
Wasn't that one of those Tarantino-inspired 90s flicks?
With Danny Aiello and Paul Mazursky?
Friend from Iowa here went to caucus on Tuesday and was pissed off at the lackluster performance of her fellow citizens. Also concluded easily that caucuses may be useful the first couple weeks, but after that they are teh stoopid.

From below:
I'm reminded of the hayseed woman who chose to deliver seven implanted babies. At first, she was hailed as a wingnut heroine, and received shitloads of diapers and baby stuff.
Then she dropped out of the news. I imagine she's all on her own now, with no one giving a fuck what happens to her.

Three or four have physical problems.
But, hey, it was god's will for her to take fertility drugs.
Never mind that they already had a healthy daughter.
There's just this giant gap in the primary calendar.
Gentlemen! We must close this primary gap. We must begin a Race Race, and demonstrate to the world that our resolve to blitz horserace politics while avoiding substance and facts is unparallelled in world history! To this end, i propose a program to put a pundit on the Moon within the decade.......

We've heard it here forever. Sometimes, it's Alabama in the middle, but the joke never changes.
The one thing to remember is that PA has one of the oldest electorates in the country. As an Obama supporter, I have to admit this helps Hillary here.
Obama needs big turnout in the cities, and to try to make some inroads in the "purple" Philly suburbs.

JR, that is getting better every day. Compare today with 1975, even, during the early days of feminism.
This attitude is disappearing, although not altogether. More important, to actually EXPRESS this attitude is seen today as Neanderthal in most circles except, of course, the Repukes and the fundies.
I get your idea, but I have to say this, too, is overrated. Most decent people do not think twice about a woman's reproductive choices, as you put it. And we're better off for it.

In 1999, I sat in front of Kenny McCaughey and two of the septuplets on a flight to Nashville.
My then-wife was pregnant with Jr. at the time, so I said I was nervous enough about having one, let alone seven. "Oh, they're wonderful!," Kenny gushed.
Yeah, but no one built a house for us.
"Start with Conyers."

Children ARE overrated, and I think that's what JR is talking about--that overrating. My children are a pain in the ass. I love them and always will. But disappointments come with them. I wasn't dissing anyone else's parenting job or satisfaction with it. Just bein' real.

Well, I think that *giving birth to a child* is. There are how many kids needing homes?
If the clock runs out, or you can't breed, there is still an option to raise a kid, if you want to.

Funny, Elias, but the same thing happened in Iran, too...
They had relatively moderate president until George's Lies #689+ in his SOTU, and his declaration of the Axis of Evil. Next thing you know, there's a razor-close election in Iran, and the Persian GW Bush is mirroring the American one, rattling swords he doesn't even have.
As Goebbels said, it works the same in every country.
By the time the primary rolls around, both candidates will be saying stuff like: "Worshington needs worshed."

And I'm standing next to the president of the United States, and what I thought to myself is, when we go out there, what does he think? You know what, the president of the United States, as he goes out to an audience like that, with three and a half billion people looking at him, he turned to me and he said, 'Do I look fat?'"

I just voted in the Dems Abroad primary. The voting took place at a local coffee shop, and this was the third day they did it. In the short time I was there (10 minutes), maybe two dozen of my fellow ex-pats came to vote.
Yes, I shall clean.
Later.
Governor Mike Huckabee would like to wish you and your followers a Happy Valentine's Day!

Funny, I did feel great about giving birth and nursing. A couple of highlights of my life. And watching the kids mature and become their own persons. Not for everyone I know. It's just that I find arguments that it is all social engineering to be shallow.
For the past couple of weeks, they've just gotten blatant about it. The administration of George W. Bush is bound by no law, bound by no precedent, bound not even by the forms of democratic self-government, let alone its actual substance, which is being used as a throw-rug in John Yoo's den these days. They will torture and the Congress can do nothing. Their powers to spy, to search, and to seize are unlimited and Congress is not remotely entitled to know even what those powers are. They can imprison without trial. They can force corporations -- and, indeed, individuals within the government -- to violate the law. They are not subject to treaties. They are not subject to oversight, nor even subpoenas. Read this swill from yesterday. Through his actions, and from the mouths of his minions, George Bush is now claiming fully the powers of a tyrant, by any reasonable definition of the term.
This is the only issue in the presidential campaign. It is the only truly existential threat to the country. Everything else -- health care, climate change, campaign finance, the deficit -- mean nothing if we fail on this fundamental issue. I don't know where the two Democratic contenders fall on this stuff -- their campaigns have been damnably vague about it -- but I know John McCain will be immeasurably worse.

That's not an imperial presidency. That's the kind of presidency Yahweh might establish. I'm sure there's some law professor out there who can make the legal argument that executive power in wartime encompasses even the reckless guesses and impressionistic whims of a single man, as they arise. At which point, that too will become an "open question" on which "reasonable people will differ." And the dance will begin again.
It's not longer a question of what is "Reasonable," but of what is "right," and by "right" we have to mean "moral." Digby ends her post pessimistically, saying: "Sadly, very few people seem to think it's a problem." Very few people leaves a lot of people, in both parties, covered in this disgrace.
What actions by people outside government can possibly change that?

"But, Atrios makes a good point. Just what the fuck are the candidates going to do to seal the deal?"
obama can go to c. pa and sell meth at a discount. it's a win-win.
Sallyh -- probably the one thing that saved my life was that people stopped helping me to kill myself with drugs. I was living in Tampa, separate from my parents but hardly independent. My friends just kind of agreed that I couldn't stay with any of them if I was going to use, and they meant it. It helped me to see that I had to do something that wasn't stupid for a change.
I know it's an order of magnitude (or many) to take that approach with your own kid, but if she doesn't want to change you can't possibly make her.

If they had any sense, they'd be powering the mill machinery off the wood waste. Most around here do. So, petroleum use is incidental-- oiling the machinery and such. Much larger is the diesel used by the logging trucks... if you had to choose, I'd go with paper.

It seems that the later, bigger state primaries are going to be used to manage the PR of a win/loss, rather than actually select a majority of delegates. Matt Yglesias has a post up saying that, in the end, he thinks Hillary will take this in the end because Obama would have to completely run the table in order to "appear" like he's winning. I dunno about that. If they still split the delegates 50-50 and the super delegates still haven't committed, I can't imagine how this thing doesn't get decided by the fat cats in Denver.

If the person candidate with the most votes going into the convention doesn't get the nomination... well, that ain't right. Why'd I vote?

You know, I do agree that's a little shady. But it's not like this hasn't been the system for a long, long time now. Certainly after FL in 2000, you'd think the DNC would have taken action to address some of these potential discrepancies in their primary...
I named the stray cat that comes around and demands food McCain because it has big chubby cheeks. It's not ugly!!! It's just a bit beat up.
McCain is FUGLY.

Hey Butler -- how are the ski conditions in the Austin Alps?
I'm gonna try to do a few miles on the tread mill, see if my cast gets in the way. See ya'all later.
What's worse is when you have about 3 Haloscans open at the same time, which is something I'm successfully resisting so far...
"Serenity Now."
i think this whole superdelegate thing came about because the party didnt want somebody like mcgovern winning again (i could be wrong here).
How many delegates does Edwards have to bargain with?

That ain't nothing. Wait till Hillary fights to get Florida and Michigans votes reinstated. I really, really hope she doesn't do that. It would be better to just go into a brokered convention with the votes as they are, than to try something that could and would be percieved as underhandedly trying to change the rules so obviously for her benefit.
I wonder if the '65-'66 Yardbirds were part of the model for the Spinal Tap writers, because Keith Relf looked remarkably like Michael McKean's early days character.
i wish haloscan would terminate its contract with mr peabody.
I don't really care if there is a backroom deal on the nomination, the way I look at it, either Obama or Clinton are the nominee, and the rethugs are toast.

Jake, the DNC put the super delegate system into place to make sure it would retain power. The super delegates are comprised of all sitting senators and house members, all Dem governors, and party officials.

That's the "nuclear option" as far as I'm concerned.

Of course, but so far, we're not seeing them throw their support behind anyone. The slight edge Hillary enjoys is still only a fraction of the supers out there. If the vote count is nearly 50-50, and the delegate count is close, and the voters have all spoken, there's gonna be some wheelin' and dealin' at the convention.

True enough. I'm trying to remember the convention rules. It used to be that delegates were bound only for the first ballot. I don't know if that has changed. Does anybody know for sure?

Hmmmmm.
Chris Guest is a ringer for Jeff Beck in Spinal Tap, also.

Jeez, why you got to do that?
I can quit any time, motherfucker!
Actually 2.
Relf was born with one functioning lung, IIRC.
And Sallyh - what I said a couple nights back goes double - may there be healing and comfort on the road ahead.

Good point! Wonder how the networks will broadcast this thing... three days of flipping votes from one to the other!

Yep. It was all about McGovern and the people usurping the party bosses by nominating him. They wanted to make sure that never happened again.

I told her last night, I'm done with you. You choose the life you want to live, but don't call me till you're ready to be straight.
Sounds cruel, but I had to do it.
