I haven't listened to many speeches lately, but Clinton's speech tonight has a lot of John Edwards echoes in it, which interests me. And pleases me.

Also, our friends in Madison are at the Obama rally.

I just read a really good, funny, point. If Michigan and Florida hadn't broken the rules, and had scheduled their primaries for, say, next Tuesday, imagine the influence and power they'd have!

Oh, that's good. On that topic, have you seen this?

I can't imagine that the Democratic Party will let those two states have voting delegates. Their primaries just weren't fair, because some of the candidates chose to follow the rules and not campaign there -- or not even appear on their ballot. Maybe they could just schedule caucuses for next month or something.

There is a re-caucus plan I've heard floating out there, which I'm for. Clinton should be for it too, as she does well there. Although in VA and Maryland Obama cut into her demographics pretty well.

Yeah, I've seen it. Stupid.

I can imagine it because Clinton won both primaries and they have the most influential and powerful (Dems) political machine around.

I don't like it, but it's not inconceivable, like, say, being followed down a dark river in the dead of night after a kidnapping no one knew about.

This is still a really smart comment.

No one had any idea there would be a real primary season on the Democratic side.

Right. But it does make for a powerful point to hammer home to the states.

This year the Democratic party gave states extra delegates if they scheduled their primaries late.

But most people forgot that there could be a presidental race where the primaries still mattered in March.
