Don't ya love these sequel posts?
I can't raise my arm very well this morning. It's not "hurt." It's just bruised. And it's weird, because it's an invisible bruise. The way it feels, it should be all black and blue and purple. But none of that.
I was going to go for a ride this morning, because I don't have to be at work till 10:30, but I decided the responsible thing to do was stay home and do school work. So naturally, what am I doing? Reading about the election and now doing a blog post. I'd have been better off riding.
So, Hillary's staying in it because she thinks that although she'll lose the popular vote, she can get enough support from Superdelegates to win the nomination. That's the only thing she can be thinking. She can't possibly win it outright. There are not enough delegates left. Or, rather, it's not conceivable that she could win enough of the remaining delegates to win on the basis of pledged delegates. She thinks she'll lose, but win. Just like George Bush. (And no, I do not think he **really** lost the election. (All those people still bitterly claiming that Bush "stole" the 2000 election need to get a life and an education, or perhaps some objectivity, or at least some honesty (all those politicos who actually know Bush won, but are still stirring the pot for some imagined political advantage).) Bush did, however, receive fewer popular votes and yet won the election. Is it ironic that Clinton is now pursuing a strategy to accomplish what she and others castigated Bush for?
[It's always a little creepy typing things like that that smack of defending George Bush. But reality is reality.]
Oops. I'm about to be late. Gotta go.
Me, though I don't really like this.

Hey--sorry about your fall! Yikes. It's the stuff helmets are made for, right?
About Hillary--I've been thinking that myself. After all the ballyhoo about Gore and Kerry and how the popular vote should decide things--the Dems (on her side, and I'm sure Obama would do it too) are going to do the same thing? I can't stand it.
It's like here in neo-conservative land: During Clinton's years, the letters to the editor were filled with insults toward the president, jokes, name-calling. But when someone dares to criticize Bush, letter writers get all puffed up and talk about the sanctity of the office.
Hypocrites.
It's a one-size-fits-all reaction, I guess.
Ugh.
