The last election should have been a slam dunk for the Democrats. They couldn’t get a “satisfactory” candidate to beat George W. Bush. Bush had a horrendous first term. The election was there for the taking. (Martin Sheen would have probably won that election.)
Is the same thing going to happen again?
We’re in the midst of a historically poor administration. It happens to be Bush and Republican.
If the democrats cannot win this general election, perhaps they should fold.

What’s the big deal? California Superdelegate Wants $20 Million for vote
Superdelegeates seem to be the key to the Democratic Presidential nomination contest between Obama and Clinton.
Steven Ybarra, a California lawyer in Sacramento, says he wants $20 million for his endorsement. He says it is not for him but to register Mexican-Americans voters in various states. He also says that registering these people can assist the Democrats in the General Election.
Given that Mr. Ybarra does use the money for that purpose and does not pocket it, why is this news? Politicians do this type of politicking all the time. They vote for a bill because it is good for his district or state.
The only difference here is Mr. Ybarra asked for cash for the purpose.
As long as Mr. Ybarra believes that either Obama or Clinton would be good candidates, he is not really selling out.
Next story.
