86. The vote was taken by ballot....Washingtonians submitted them.

Your snarkiness doesn't matter a whit. If Hillary argues this popular vote bullshit for Florida and Michigan, then every vote that was ever cast around the country should be counted in the grand total. The delegates are weighted by the caucus, but the vote was still taken, by paper ballot and touch-screen. Just the way grown-ups usually do. We played by the rules. Rules matter. Everywhere. Especially those rules that are mutually agreed upon by all involved parties. To wit, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and the other candidates with respect to Florida and Michigan. When Florida and Michigan Democratic party elders decided to break the rules and invalidate their own primaries, that was their decision. Result: null and void. Hillary thought she'd hedge her bet by leaving her name on the ballot in Michigan, in case, you now, things got a little tough for her. Now THAT's integrity for you.

(Get it? I mean, I can write it, really slowly, in a bright red crayon for you, if that will help you keep up...)

Except now, apparently, rules don't matter to Hillary Rodham Clinton and her petulant, pouty-lipped sycophants, now that she's LOST.

Your posts and those of your tiny coffee klatsch sometimes provide a small modicum of entertainment -- but, more often than not, reading them is like watching a trainwreck unfold in super slo-mo.

I hope you can recover your senses in time to help Democrats beat McCain. If not, then I guess we'll be seeing you.
