In her latest essay the usually astute neo-neocon buries her latest important observation about Hillary, Obama, and the bass-ackwards Democratic primaries:
I did a little quick math of my own by going here and reviewing the state-by-state primary results. If one adds up the total delegates to be awarded by primaries and uses a winner-take-all system, eliminating caucuses, Hillary leads by about 500 delegates. If you add in all the caucus states (almost all of which Obama won), she still leads, although by "only" about 150 delegates.In November the country will hold a general election for the Presidency. This is a fact that the Democrats seem determined to ignore in their rush to "be historic" by nominating a guy with a tan.
The way they got themselves to this historic moment of letting their little heads do the thinking for their big heads is via their "sooper-genius" system of primaries that do not parallel the general election's winner-take-all system, but rather emulate the whiner-gets-some system. Of course, "whiner-gets-some" sort of sums up what the Democrat party has become. Perhaps it is best to just let it be.
After all, why would the Democrats want to nominate a winner for President? It would be so out of character. Still, the least you'd think they'd do is nominate someone who was, in the final analysis, an American-in-full rather than just a paper-American like Obama.

What I think is that your White Old Man party is going down in flames...and that's got you Bitter.
It's only gonna get worse, bigot. Even if Obama doesn't win the GE, he's changed American politics forever. And The Republican Brand, already destroyed by your Idiot King, can only go down further by being the White Old Guy party in an increasingly diverse and younger America.
Say hello to the comet, Dinosaur. And embrace your extinction..

White old guy? Or is it Old white guy? Old guys? Or, maybe just white guys in general, that you hate with such empty passion.
Message, though garbled, received and understood.
Mr. Vanderleun's characterization of Obama as a paper American is too kind by times-ten. Obama is not American, not white, not black, and not half the man that Hillary is.
Hell, he isn't even paper. He is a pandering illusion set up to lead you and your people over the cliff.
Happy landing.
