Bring me up to speed what happened with Fl/Michigan? They weren't eliminated. They all get to go, their votes just count for half. Hillary Clinton will be awarded for a cheap political trick, leaving her name in an election she pledged she would not participate, so she would win by default, and include the state in the list of 'states I won'. Yet what else could they do? If the rules committee hadn't compromised and found a way to seat the delegates, then the Hillary supporters would have yelled DISENFRANCHISEMENT all the way to November and beyond.

And no USA did'nt win WW2 all by itself! No, it DIDN'T. But without our help, you Brits would now be complaining about the high cost of Deutschmarks.

Hillary wants on the ticket. Look what it did for LBJ. Let us hope if she is the VP choice that she does not take office the same way LBJ did. From what I read, LBJ hated Kennedy. I don't think Hillary hates Obama in the same manner. And no USA did'nt win WW2 all by itself! Some conveniently forget that we did not enter WWII until it was absolutely necessary, as a last possible resort. The war had been going on for years before the U.S. joined the allies. Back then, we were operating with a smart president, who didn't treat war like it was his personal game of cowboys-n-indians like this idiot George Bush. I understand the resentment of America today, but we saved the entire world's ass from Japan and the Nazi's in WWII. If the Brits wanted to stay out of Afghanistan and Iraq, they should have elected someone else than Tony Blair, who continually let George Bush lead him by the ear.

Then the next in line would be Nancy Pelosi. Talk about a trifecta. Not necessarily because the new president would appoint a vice president.

Not to mention they would need to widen the entrance to the WHite House.

Why must American citizens back up their faults? Dunno. Maybe it has something to do with them telling the King of England to go fuck himself 230 years ago.

For anyone following these primaries, will it be over tomorrow (or maybe Wednesday?)  I'm thinking so. TIS Not necessarily. It could go to the Convention in Denver this summer. Many Board members are too young to remember convention floor fights. They have happened in the past and they can happen again. Obama is not out of the woods yet and Hillary is not out of the nomination yet?

Why must American citizens back up their faults? At least we have the guts to admit our mistakes instead of a) burying our heads in the sand or b) calling on other countries to do our fighting for us. Self criticism is probably one of our great strengths.
