    No Nightmare Ticket

    Rach, my jaw is still on the floor, too; the "hard-working Americans, white Americans'' remark from that person who still thinks she can be president absolutely disqualifies her from joining the ticket she would have been a drain on anyhow—because Obama cannot say his presidency would be all about turning the page on the old politics, only if anything were to happen to him, the masters of old politics would be back in charge. I really do want to hear the counterargument from women who remain in her corner, though. How does she (or should she?) get anywhere without the support of those shiftless non-whites she apparently can't even hear herself disrespecting? And not too slick a pander to her self-described base, either: "C'mon, y'all, join with other hard-working white people.'
