To quote Reverend Lovejoy: “I never thought I’d be doing this again.”

But go read Kos… and a MoveOn.org dude at Huffington Post.

I am as serious as an attack of buyer’s remorse.

A highly recommended DailyKos diary takes the generous “contrarian” view that Hillary should be “allowed” to participate a little bit further in the democratic process:

I think that by allowing the Clinton campaign to continue further, say through May 6 and NC and Indiana, Clinton supporters will see they have had every opportunity to try to make their case to persuade Democrats to their point of view and will not feel resentful that party elders stepped in and deprived them of that opportunity. At some point it will be necessary to bring the process to an end.  Read more 

Which of these four things should happen to Democratic primary voters in Florida?

1) They should be ignored. Florida’s Republican-led state government broke the DNC’s rules by moving up the primary date, so fuck the Sunshine State’s Dems.

2) Their votes from the original primary day should be counted. While the vote was clouded by a plan/threat not to seat the delegates, voters turned out in big numbers and made their preferences known.

3) They should get a mulligan. The results from a re-vote might be different from the previous vote’s, but the cloud of uncertainty will be removed.

4) They should be neutered. Florida gets half its alloted delegates, and they are evenly dispersed across the two candidates, completely nullifying the impact of voters’ preferences. (Perhaps, symbolically, two voters — one for each remaining Dem — can show up and cast a ballot, while everyone else who prefers one candidate over the other goes and fucks him/herself.)

The last option is known — according to Silent Patriot at C&L — as “Kos get(ting) it right.”

But I still love ya, C&L. And congrats on your well-earned Bloggie!

Ha, while we’ve been having our own little discussions about misogyny here at Corrente, it looks like Big Orange stepped in it. You make the call. Kos’ original post. In which he basically says, “Suck it up. Death threats happen. They aren’t a big risk.” Which is what I said somewhere, I’m too tired to go digging for it now. Steve D and about a score of other bloggers (live links at link) think Kos should apologize, mainly for underestimating and misrepresenting the very real risk that women, but not men, face in these sorts of threats. BTD also falls into that group who think Kos blew it, but initially had a different reaction. Is Kos a misogynist and what does that mean for the movement?  Read more
