Rats don’t swim toward sinking ships, and pols don’t back no losers, and this is why Hillary Clinton is in such trouble. In a relatively short amount of time, Clinton has gone from being the inevitable winner to being the underdog to being a dead woman walking. She needs superdelegates to win the nomination, but what is her argument to superdelegates? Can she promise them she will win a majority of the pledged delegates that voters have chosen in primaries and caucuses? No. Can she promise them she can take the lead in the popular vote? No. Can she promise them she can win a majority of the primary and caucus states? No. But can she get the superdelegates to overturn the will of the voters, slap African-Americans and young voters in the face and shatter the party? Well, yeah, she can try for that Death Star option. Why would superdelegates want to go along with her? Because she would be a much stronger candidate than Barack Obama in November? The results so far don’t suggest that. Look at what Obama accomplished Tuesday night with his overwhelming win in the 10th-largest state in the nation, North Carolina, and his narrow loss in Indiana: Obama spent weeks with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright hanging around his neck, and Obama still did well.

I'm here to tell you that this is a gravely mistaken assumption. Here's one in a long list of reasons why McCain would be just as bad as Bush... Equal pay for...

I’ve gotten a lot of criticism lately whenever I do a post about the primary, and, specifically, about misogynistic language or sexist framing used to tear down Hillary Clinton. Invariably, someone accuses (and it’s always an accusation) me of being ...
