..out of the dark

..I was going to save that headline for the endorsement speech for Obama - but what the hell:

Clinton’s camp insisted Obama shouldn’t get any pledged delegates in Michigan since he chose not to put his name on the ballot, and she should get 73 pledged delegates with 55 uncommitted. Obama’s team insisted the only fair solution was to split the pledged delegates in half between the two campaigns, with 64 each.

For feminism, democracy, liberty and.. stuff. Yay.

In other news, digby is freaking out again:

Perhaps I misread the public mood and what they want more than anything is for everyone to get along. But I have to think that part of McCain's popularity with the independents is they perceive that his method of "reaching across party lines" is that they think he'll knock heads together and force people to bend to his will. I don't know if Obama running to the right, as Democrats are wont to do in general elections, will counteract that particular style of leadership. Something different is called for.

"Uh, maybe Obama should just drop the whole campaign, and start focusing on real political issues, like aggressively abusing racial sentiment, but in a good way, and establish a character for himself as another father figure - like Cosby - and then also sort of become a progressive candidate, like it's.. because McCain is still believed to want to reach across the aisle by most republicans, and we know that means they trust the man to force his opponents to see reason, and we need to emulate that in the progressive campaign, just in a nicer way... man I don't even know what to write about any of this anymore. Can people please stop calling me an establishment hack in the comments section!"

Sit down and have another martini, digby. Jesus.

I don't think this is digby:


But it is a Hillary supporter commenting on the rules and bylaws committee's decision.
