I just saw the /humor/ thingee. Good one.

Except for his last paragraph, which is devastatingly tragic

Logsdon said that Sanders might persist in his quest for the White House despite his ineligibility but that such an effort would be doomed to fail. “Our political system has been refined over the years specifically to keep people like Bernie Sanders out of the White House,” he said. “The system works.”

I'll go ahead and use the end of this post to remind people of the problems with electronic voting machines and other election shenanigans (AA and students shoved off voting rolls, 8-12 hour lines to vote in poor neighborhoods, vote switching as Oprah attested to on her show) that occurred in FL in 2000 with Gore and in OH in 2004 with Kerry.

Peace
