http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/david-swanson/66241/hillaridrumpfHis best primary states lie ahead -- but only if people turn off their televisions and block out the endless repetition of the idea that Hillary's antidemocratic superdelegates, and states that have already voted have decided everything.

Senator Sanders is losing the states he is losing now . not because a quirk of the primary calendar, but because they are heterogeneous. The more heterogeneous the state the worse Senator Sanders does. That's an empirical observation and not a normative one.

(2,872 posts)I think the quote was attributed to Marx, the whole "religion is the opiate of the masses" thing-- if he could see things nowadays, he'd shit enough bricks to build himself a new mausoleum, and then go lay down in it. 24 hour "news" cycles are the new opiate of the masses.

(3,017 posts)Bernie supporters are pissed off at and wary of the entire system including corporate media. While corporate media's message that Bernie's campaign was doomed heading into Super Tuesday, Bernie's supporters donated over $6 million to his campaign in the last 24 hours.

(7,299 posts)Hillary already has Florida and Louisiana. I think Ohio, Pennsylvanis and New York will go to Hillary. Michigan could be a battle. But, I think you know where I'm going with this.
