"For me, the physical pain of the attack has faded, but the mental anguish will be hard to shake." So now she will be forever traumatized. Somebody will have to pay her cash so she can get over her trauma.

The role of the %u201Csuper-delegates%u201D, to look beyond the immediacy of the moment, and make individual judgments of what ticket has the best chance of defeating the Republican candidate in the general election. And why should the %u201Csuper-delegates%u201D play that role? Not only because that%u2019s the way the rules are, and we are being told constantly that everyone should play by the rules, but also because they are uniquely qualified to make that judgment. The vast majority have participated in dozens of elections (or hundreds); their own and others. They have a deeper and vastly more informed perspective on what it takes to win general elections than does the average voter. Their expertise is an invaluable aid to making sure a Democratic candidate actually gets to be President. They are mostly elected officials who will have to go back and face their constituents and explain in detail why they made the judgment they did. They, unlike any of the other delegates, are truly accountable for their votes to more than just their favorite candidate.

The color Purple. Much as we may crave it, we do not live in a democracy. If we did then each person would have one vote in every issue, and that vote would count as much as any other. But we don%u2019t. If you participated in a caucus, your vote counted about ten times as much as someone who voted in a primary. In the general election, what ultimately matters is the votes in the Electoral College, not the popular vote, as we re-learned so painfully in 2000. So the question facing the uncommitted %u201Csuper-delegates%u201D is how do we run the best campaign with the highest probability of defeating John McCain in November, and win the majority of Electoral College votes. Cuurently Lintonhas 267 electoral votes and Obama has 202 electoral votes using the same method as used in the GE. Assume that Hillary wins PA, WV, Indiana
and Obama gets SD, NC , OR , MT , Clinton will have 308 electoral votes and Obama will have 230 Electoral votes. You know who should be on top of the DREAM ticket.

Yepper, and you are so enlightened your *** does not stink and your ideas are SO enlightened that somehow your disrespect for the people you have not met and do not know is more "proper" than the activities of those in the story. They drove trespassers from their property, whereas the only intrusion into your life by them is an offense to your no doubt refined sensibilities.

You are definitely the kind of person they kept abortion legal for. Pity your mom didn''''t use it.

The majority of states are firmly planted in either %u201CRed%u201D or %u201CBlue%u201D territory. Because of their demographics, party registration, or culture, about 35 states are overwhelmingly likely to vote the same way they have for decades, for either the Republican or the Democratic candidate, no matter what name is on the ballot. In the general election, there is no proportional allocation of Electoral College votes. It%u2019s winner-take-all. It is highly unlikely that any Democrat can win states such as Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Kansas, North Dakota, Alaska, South Carolina and others that carried Barack to this point in the primary contest.
Only a handful, either because of their almost equal balance between Republican and Democratic registrations, or the changing demographics, make the Electoral College votes for that state competitive. Those are the %u201CPurple%u201D states; those which are neither definitively Red nor definitively Blue. And those states are what this race, and the next one are actually all about.
