Wow:
Florida and Michigan played a valued role in this battle, proving they would risk their representation in order to demand a say in our nominee. It was a gamble that didn’t pay off, obviously, and there’s great irony in the fact that a later primary would’ve made them that much more influential this cycle.
But the original sentiment still applies — they risked huge in order to demand a say, and that sentiment will guide big changes in our nominating calendar in the future.
So regardless the fact that Michigan’s and Florida’s contests will end up being non-determinative to the nomination, their sacrifices will ultimately help create a system that gives more Americans a voice in the process.
Gee, thanks, Lord Kos!
I can think of only one word that describes the combination of insider condescension, wonkiness, and “Get over it” putting-the-boot-in-ness:
Broder-esque.
Well done, Boyz on the Blogs!

Goodbye 50-state strategy, Hello 48-state strategy
Although if we have to give up states, couldn’t we give up ones with less than 44 electoral votes? I heard a rumor the Dakotas (6 total EVs) might want to join Canada.
48 state strategy
does Kos have a mirror?
Is Atrios taking nominations for Wanker of the Year?
I think you may have found a winner here.
