Don't tell the M$M that Hillary has no chance...

...they'll chase you up a tree and set fire to it. It involves math, and as we're well aware, they all think math is the debbil.

This morning, I was flipping through the so-called news channels looking for something unboring as I was getting ready for work, and I didn't click quite fast enough past Faux Noise to avoid assimilating the banner. Curse this ability to read.

Anyway, they're still postulating the theory that somehow, if she can get some of the MI/FL delegates seated and do well enough in the remaining primaries, that the remaining undecided superdelegates will swing her way (the Joementum theory) as well as pulling enough away from Obama to give her the nomination. Then, I believe the heavens open up and the divine light shone through... or something like that.

Look, if this happens, I'll vote for her. But I think if this does happen, I think the viability of party is in question.

I am a Democrat. And it is not because I think Democrats are cool and happening and I want to be a part of the cool club with the cool people. I am a Democrat because the general values of the party are values I share (at least with its membership), one of them being fairness and another being respect for the rules. Now, I'll shove those values in a box until after November 4th if it means that we beat McCain and his party who have NOT shown these values, and in fact have shown the utterest of utter contempt for them.

But you never shit where you eat.

Those values are exactly and completely in effect until our nominee is chosen.

If the party's leadership disavows the process and lends aid and comfort to Hillary Clinton in abeyance of the rules she agreed to, then the people of the Democratic Party must start to seriously question whether or not their will matters. As I said, I am a Democrat because I believe in the values, not because I am cementheadedly loyal to the party, and I believe this to be true of most Democrats. If the Democratic Party changes its values, and steps away from fairness and respect for the rules in its own house, or allows one of its own to do the same with impunity, then it may have issues with its relevance to its own membership and cause many to walk away.

And could make it eleventy-one times worse with two other little words. She's chosen the latter enough times to prove it.
