States' rights
Used to mean something a bit different, that phrase "states' rights" but I guess every state is flexing its muscles this year in the democratic nomination process. Since they're using something similar to electoral college proportionality, though, it's maybe not as one-man-one-vote as it should be. Then again, no one is asking me.
We're down to 12 more contests before the convention. Unless it's 14 because two are re-held. The poetic twist of the dems having to argue about whether votes were fairly or unfairly won, only one president and eight years after what many say was a 'stolen' election, is pretty amusing, isn't it? Ted Olson, the lawyer who argued Bush's case at the Supreme Court, mentioned somewhere that I saw that he has a set of good papers the dems could use for precedents, if they'd like. Heh.
Mississippi on Tuesday and then we get endless and entirely meaningless chatter which will be hard to take for the following six weeks until Pennsylvania's primary.
