Read the following comments on so-called Super delegates. The first from Barack Obama, winner of Nebraska, Louisiana, and Washington state yesterday. He believes delegates should follow the will of the voters.Howard Wolfson,
communications director for Hillary Clinton responded, "It should be
whoever [sic] they think would be the best president." Go ahead,
Howard, finish the thought--experience trumps all things including the
will of the people.
Behind the move to seat Florida delegates,
despite the rules, not to mention Michigan, where only Hillary's name
appeared on the ballot, is Harold Ickes, the general of the
no-holds-barred Clinton race in 1992. One thing seems clear. Hillary is
Bill, Bill is Ickes, Ickes is Carville. Win or take them down with you!
Here
is the disaster unfolding before Howard Dean's eyes. Yes, the Howard
Dean Ickes and the DLC torpedoed in 2000. The "reformer" and now chair
of an evaporating Party that is setting itself up for defeat. If
so-called Super Delegates snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for
Clinton, John McCain is the next president and Mike Huckabee the VP.
Yikes!
What to do? Wisconsin must take the lead or
renounce Bob LaFollette's legacy. Yes, Super Delegates must pledge to
follow the results of the primary on the 19th. Must. Dave Obey is a
Super Delegate. His book is entitled "Raising Hell for Justice." Paul
Wellstone often said he was the "democratic wing of the Democratic
Party." As are most of you. Memo to Obey--time to raise hell for democracy.
We
should call on the Super Delegates in Wisconsin, (and it is hard to
find out their names. Here are some: Steve Kagan, UW senior Awais
Khaleel, Tammy Baldwin, Russ Feingold, Herb Kohl, Joe Wineke, Ron Kind,
Gwyn Moore) to pledge to support the winner of our primary come hell or
high water.
If Harold Ickes and the DLC hand the nomination to
Hillary Clinton despite the popular vote, "turn out the lights the
party's over."

Although separated by an ocean and multiple time zones, the Australian Outback bears remarkable resemblance to the American West. Both encompass mesas towering over rocky, dusty deserts shimmering like a mirage under unforgiving sunlight. Whip-snapping co
It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
