Salon: Why Hillary Clinton should be winning

Why Hillary Clinton should be winning

Excerpt: (Too long to excerpt)

Comment: Salon's points: Hillary has better chance against McCain ... and the Dem's system is crazy!

Conclusion:

In the final analysis, though, the fights inside the Democratic Party aren't really about either an ideal American democracy or the American democracy that actually exists. According to the Obama campaign, democracy is defined as whatever helps Barack Obama win the Democratic nomination. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a candidate arguing this way. But everybody should see it for what it is -- not something new or transformative, but one of the oldest ploys in the playbook of American politics.
