Failure in Democracy

If true democracy is about the mythical "will of the people", it's doomed for failure no matter who wins the democratic nomination. If Hillary wins it's because the elitist super delegates have chosen her as a better candidate than Barrack, not the people. If Barrack wins, Hillary can argue it's really "the will of the people" minus people from Michigan and Florida. In either case, the party has set itself up for legitimacy issues, not that legitimacy issues have ever stopped someone from becoming president before.

I honestly think the fact that these two are pushing each other is not all bad. It means they're still active and raising money, where McCain isn't getting that kind of notice. They're being forced to build operations everywhere. In November, I think this will be viewed as a good thing.
