Winning On Points
Jay Cost at Real Clear Politics:
From this, I would suggest that, as a prelude to unifying the party, both sides need to be a little modest.
The Clinton people need to recognize that it is not coincidence that Obama’s vote was more efficient. I have discussed this before. Part of this had to do with the fact that the delegate allocation system contains biases that happened to favor Obama. However, part of it had to do with the fact that the Obama campaign had a better understanding of the system. It found the possibilities and made the most of them. What’s more, the Clinton campaign let it do this. Simply put, Obama out-maneuvered Clinton. Clinton supporters need to respect this.
Meanwhile, Obama supporters need to recognize that their candidate is the victor not because he put together a majority coalition, but because he out-maneuvered Clinton. This was a highly intelligent strategy, but it was not a grand feat of majority building. Obama supporters need to recognize that their candidate won not because “the people had their say,” but because his campaign out-smarted her campaign. Accordingly, they need to respect the candidate whom they could not beat in a straight-up fight for votes.

There was more than STRATEGERY involved in, although the millions of small online contributions was as historic as the fact that a racially inferior self bootstrap elevating HARVARD LAW JOURNAL editor was selected over a MULTIMILLION-HEIRESS ENTRENCHED BELTWAY CESSPOOL DWELLING DLC NAFTA NWO WTO HAWKISH QUASI-BLUE-DOG BAGGAGE LADEN DYNASTIC OLIGARCHY House of Saud connected IRAN-CONTRA linked Lieberman loven survivor of tarmac sniper fire, the BALLOT TABULATION in NH and NYC, etc., was BLATANTLY TAMPERED WITH.
The bottom line is that ACCOUNTABILITY is NOT an option.
The fact that YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS, yet there is NO SUSTAINED OUTRAGE is a direct consequence of the LACK of any consequences for VIOLATING the OATH of OFFICE taken by the congress critters in the hill.
