After McGovern  and the anti war convention choosing him lost in the general election, the Democratic Party decided to have Super-delegates so the Party, not the people ,could control future surges by  anti-war delegates. The Democratic Party must ban super delegates if they want to represent the people, and not the special interests. Is this what Democracy looks like ?  Super-size Democracy, not war.

After participating in some of the lengthy discussions on Jerry McNerney's Iraq occupation quotes in WaPo and DailyKos, I felt compelled to put up my own thoughts in a post here.  If you feel like more of this, please follow below the fold.

You know, I wrote a big long parable with a bunch of metaphors, but then decided to pull back from it.  The hazards of blogging sometimes.  Nonetheless, I'm still trying to sort out my feelings on this whole McGovern Bill.  But, perhaps one way to deal with it, at least for those who live in the Bay Area, is to talk with the Congressman about it.  This Saturday, he'll be having a town hall meeting, so perhaps this is your chance to talk about it.

As ErinSikorsky pointed out in the comments, he cosponsored the Lee/Woolsey bill.  So, there's a lot left to talk about.
