One point I haven't yet seen (5.00 / 1) (#59)

argued strikes me as pretty important.

Obama supporters like Leahy insist that Hillary drop out so that Obama might remain electable. Yet they turn right around and emphatically reject the idea that electability should be a consideration in selecting our nominee.

Well, if doing the right thing for the Party is supposedly to drop out to make the nominee more electable, why isn't doing the right thing for the Party allowing superdelegates to choose the candidate who is the most electable in the first place?

In short, (none / 0) (#60)

If electability of our nominee is important enough to force someone to drop out of the race, why isn't it important enough to use as a basis for selecting our candidate?

Why the absurd double standard?
