ParticipantThe Economist magazine has this very funny comment on its latest issue:
“IN CARTOONS there is often a moment when a hapless character, having galloped over a cliff, is still unaware of the fact and hangs suspended in the air, legs pumping wildly, until realisation dawns, gravity intervenes and downfall ensues. Hillary Clinton’s campaign looks a bit like that this week. After her heavy loss in North Carolina and her barely perceptible victory in Indiana, a state she needed to carry triumphantly, Mrs Clinton’s campaign is surely close to its end.
“As The Economist went to press, Mrs Clinton was publicly still promising to keep on fighting right the way to the Denver convention. That remains her right. But it is hard to see what she, her party or her country can gain from the struggle.”

ParticipantHey DWCAP, what you said about disenfrachising one half or the other is true only if the process remains bitterly contested to the very end. And I agree that it’s not time for the DNC to step in.
However, this is the time for Ms. Clinton to step in, and wholeheartedly endorse Obama. She has a chance to be seen as a party uniter. Unfortunately, she’ll probably end her campaign the same way she run it (badly):
-She brought up the race issue again and again
-She engaged in negative attacks
-And to crown it all: she refuses to concede and divides the party until the very bitter end, risking a McCain victory in NovemberParticipantHey DWCAP, what you said about disenfrachising one half or the other is true only if the process remains bitterly contested to the very end.

1. Dharmagirl: I think the “I do it for my kids” argument has little to do with carrying capacity as safety. There are 40,000 road fatalities in the US, and people believe that a big car will offer some protection. In fact the “Millionaire Mind” bestseller by professors Danko and Stanley found that the (smart, self made) millionaires they studied were far more likely to drive large cars than other people.
2. I think that large SUVs look terribly ugly. They are morbidly OBESE cars, take up too much room, disproportionately pollute the air, and are in general the symptom of a sick society obsessed with consumerism and supersize-ism
