Re: That is in the general election (2.00 / 1)

It's never come up before as an issue, but we have never had (to my knowledge) the subject pushed adamantly by one of the Democratic contenders before.  Certainly not against the backdop of the now-infamous 2000 GE.

There seems no end in sight to this being made Issue #1 for a large part of the Democratic party.

It could become a lingering sore after the nomination process is finally over.  Particularly if it's somehow taken all the way to Denver.

Re: That is in the general election (none / 0)

I hope you're not complaining about Republicans voting for a candidate. Without them Clinton might not have won Texas.

Are you disputing the nebulosity of the numbers? (none / 0)


My point is not to pick a fight that is already raging, but to point to the unavoidable fuzziness of the math behind the whole debate.

Do you believe that the numbers can be put down in any way that is not open to debate?
