"The Texas Democratic Party is warning that its March caucuses could be delayed or disrupted after aides to White House hopeful Hillary Clinton raised the specter of an imminent lawsuit over its complicated delegate selection process, officials said Thursday night"

Get the word out there. She will only die like Rasputin, sigh. Grace is as unknown to her as losing is.

Jimmy, I dugg you up for the first time in...well, ever. I'm talking back to when you were JamesSpaza.You make a valid point, to be sure, but I'm not certain I've ever seen you admit when YOUR party is wrong. Of course, I haven't gone through all (or any, for that matter) of your comments beyond what I see in stories, so please feel free to correct me.

Over the past few weeks, I have gone from having a slight preference for Obama, to a HUGE preference for him due to the crap Hillary keeps trying... Michigan/Florida, now Texas, various lies she tells, oh I hope she loses bad. Bad enough that she would never think of running again.

Ohh, and its not that they're all lying scumbags, it's that they have to lie and be scumbags to get into office to get anything changed. I don't know how anyone could even attempt to make the argument. Obama is the farthest left liberal. McCain is the furthest left conservative. Do you know what that looks like in the form of a graph? It's a line with McCain in the center and Obama all the way to the left! Not particularly Obamas strong point, unless of course you go by his "words" and not his actions...Plus the media LOVES Obama. It;s not about uniting the American people, it;s about uniting our representatives so they can actually get stuff done, although it will never work....

I have my own reasons to vote for Obama. If you think naivet? is among them, well, that's just blithely insulting. If Clinton gets the nomination, I'll support her-- she's a good candidate for many of the reasons you've given-- but she's not my first choice.I think you've made it clear now that your objections to the Texas rules are really rooted in your support for Clinton and the unlikelihood that she'll prevail in Texas, coupled with perhaps a misunderstanding of what the Texas delegate selection process is meant to accomplish.

I guess you see yourself as party first, country second. And I am not built that way. I align myself with a candidate who's principle's and values more accurately reflect my own. the more I listen to Obama's zealot supporter rants on Digg the less important their chants become to me. I believe in America. I have voted Democrat most of my life. In looking at how the party has fallen recently - it's no surprise to me that you - as a party participant only see the populist party line. I do get your point - and no it's not that hard to understand the attraction you feel toward your candidate. It's the same pull most of the Democrats are feeling now. It has absolutely nothing to do with qualifications - and everything to do with personality. You have presented a generous dose of reasoning behind your decision to stay in that cloud - and I support you in that decision. I see things differently. You could say it's because I'm 'deliberately obtuse' - but I believe it's because I think democrats need to be shaken from their slumber before the clock runs out. I won't vote for Obama simply because he talks a better game. He may yet win this race - but he will lose that war. And the next one. And the next. It's just another lesson learned if he does. Fresh face, starting from zero. When I hire someone, I look for people who can hit the ground running usually. If there's room for a newbie - I fit them in when I can - because I believe in giving people a chance. But I would not give a newbie a position as a tech lead. You have to work up to that. Knowledge does not equate in value to experience. And that I believe is only held by Ms Clinton in this race. So - since Texas - with it's process of disenfranchisement of the bread basket working people - is an important step in ensuring She remains a viable candidate for the nomination - I call for that process to be challenged. I'm just one - and your voice - along with the other Obama supports so completely drown out dissenting opinion - that I have no doubt we won't be heard. But here - on Digg - regardless of how many times the zealots digg me down - I can still have my words share equal space with theirs. Good chatting with you caketank.

Jesus H Christ. No, I don't see myself as party first, country second. But I am able to comprehend why the party operates the way it does, and that the party's motivations are not my motivations. This is a nuance you apparently cannot or will not grasp.
