Who's Running?

As the nominations unfold, I'd like to put a link to each presidential candidate on the sidebar. So far the only solid nomination I know is Bob Barr, who pummeled Mike Gravel and a few others at the Libertarian convention. I'm not sure what is happening in the Constitution or Reform parties; if someone else has time to look, leave a comment with your findings.

Clinton In June

Okay, let me see if I understand this. Hillary Clinton thinks it's fine to stay in the race until June because of all of the past times that the nomination was not decided until June or later.

Does this make sense? No. Nominations are decided based on votes, not dates. The votes have moved earlier on the calendar in the past decade or two. So bringing up the calendar as if it is more relevant than votes is, in my opinion, dumb.

So, am I misunderstanding her, is she misunderstanding the world? And are Americans, like her supporters, really dumb enough to fall for what would be called reasoning if it wasn't so bad?

There are reasons why I left Atlanta. Here is one more example.
