some of the new posters are Indys going Dem just for Bernie, and the process has them freaked out, so they see monsters in the simplest of posts. I felt really bad for the one poster who was uber outraged about the superdelegate process, who thought we weren't aware of it, and had really worked him/her self up about it. I think most of us would prefer to see a saner system, but I support the "state party chooses how they assign their delegates" line of thinking. some states just dont want, or can't really afford, to pay for primaries.

More and more articles indicating that Bernie hasn't been able to pull together the numbers and coalition he needed to give it a shot are coming out now, and I think some may be coming to terms with the possibility that this may be over pretty soon. It's certainly NOT over yet, and Bernie could rally, but he will take a big hit in South Carolina and Super Tuesday, and they know that it can be hard to come back from. For myself, I felt a big shift in the force after Nevada.

Sorry you got smacked.
