I may actually try to go to this, Edirol R-09 in tow. If I get good audio of his speech, I’ll post it here.

It would be a lot more exciting if it weren’t for the fact that he’s stumping for a candidate who’s lone strategy is to undermine the popular vote majority and pledged delegate majority through slash-and-burn political tactics.

I have a lot of love for Big Dog, but I hate that he and his candidate wife won’t read the writing on the wall.

The only way Hillary wins the nomination now is through destroying Obama, winning over 60% of the vote in every remaining state, or twisting superdelegate arms. It’s embarrassingly Machiavellian, and I wish they would both stop.

All of that being said, it’s not every day an ex-President rolls into town. I’ll be the guy looking sentimental for the good old days.

I wish, I wish, o how I wish he would STOP SAYING NICE THINGS ABOUT McCAIN!

Both Dem candidates need to stop lacerating each other, which only empowers the far right, discredited though the far right are. What’s the point of being Machiavellian only in order to lose, or to win Pyrrhic victories?

If the Clintons could rise through Machiavellian methods, and then turn those same methods against the Right and eviscerate it permanently, then I would say “Go, you crazy cutthroats, go!”

But no. The Clinton years were a time of tactical victories in a prolonged retreat, Br’er Bill craftily scooting off into ever smaller briar patches. If he was so smart, how did he end up handing the keys of the White House to fascists?
