He's sort of King Lear with a southern accent. Wandering around out there." Thought that was an apt description.cowboyangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452987299073540171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27601672.post-78179222019112943622008-01-22T03:57:00.000-05:002008-01-22T03:57:00.000-05:00You know what worries me more?

Their obsession with Clinton and Obama from the beginning has been a disservice to Edwards, Richardson, Biden, etc.<BR/><BR/>But they're just so simplistic sometimes. I understand that Hillary won the support of a greater percentage of the people who caucused, and that's important. (Don't like, though, how they say someone won the "popular vote," as if an actual vote had been taken by the people of Nevada. You're talking about 10,000 people in the caucus, out of a population of 2.5 million. 4% of the people in the state participated as delegates to the caucus.) Was a bit stunned, though, that even major papers like the Times and Post couldn't seem to handle a situation with a bit of complexity. How hard is it to say that Clinton won X% of the people who caucused, while Obama actually won more delegates? It's not bloody rocket science.cowboyangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13452987299073540171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27601672.post-52500349586822847032008-01-21T13:00:00.000-05:002008-01-21T13:00:00.000-05:00I think the country would be better served if the ...I think the country would be better served if the media would stop treating the primaries as a sporting event or an American Idol competition.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265036866243982434noreply@blogger.com
