I'd like to see a "right to be forgotten" law so people who have served their time can get jobs and housing. But no candidate is proposing that. Isn't sentencing a state issue?

 That freedom finch added some welcomed newness into his campaign, with tags of endearment such as Birdie Sanders, and even, St. Francis of Assisi. While many of the Sanders' supporters seem content with the repetitious and robotic presentations, and, particularly, those segments whose bern singes Mrs. Clinton, I suspect that they, too, are pleased by the rare punctuation by a rara avia.

 The Bernie supporters who are young are understandable in their enthusiasm, and need to have their participation in the Democratic process nurtured.  After all, a party (let alone a country) that dislikes its youth, has no future.

And, it is for this reason that I feel that Senator Sanders has a responsibility to soon acknowledge the reality of the very narrow pathway available to him for the nomination. When he lost Democratic primaries in the South, his campaign pooh poohed the Clinton wins as being,...well, in the south. And, when Super delegates seemed in alignment with Clinton, they were undemocratic. Different from the present, where Sanders is looking to turn super delegates. Now, caucus wins in Alaska, for example, are billed as turning the tide, momentum is us.  

I remember talking with him in a small side room in January in Iowa as hundreds of supporters waited for him to speak. As our conversation wrapped up, I asked Mr. Sanders how he would tailor his message to voting blocs in the coming state primaries and caucuses. Instead of responding directly, he began repeating part of his stump speech, which I have now heard more than 90 times, explaining that the American middle class is disappearing and that almost all of the new income is going to the top 1 percent..

He can be stubborn. And I have seen him get snappish and sarcastic, most memorably when reporters questioned him on his plane about comments made by a supporter, the rapper Killer Mike, asserting that "a uterus does not qualify" a person to be president. It was widely viewed as a cheap shot at Mrs. Clinton. "Anything else to talk about?" he said after being questioned repeatedly by the correspondents aboard.

Turnout was quite heavy today throughout the islands. Please keep in mind that this is the count from just one district on one island. The Hawaii Democratic Party does not release partial results (but I will!), and will announce the preliminary total -- subject to certification -- only when all 51 districts across the state have reported.

If Sanders gave his usually eight hour long victory speech, it was nowhere to be seen.

The local news I checked didn't mention them. Or just gave them a brief shout-out in the C or D block.

The various Clinton hating websites (Politico, TPM, etc.)gave them some play. MSN and Google news has it as a headline. (Headlines without hyperbole.) Yahoo news doesn't.

Hillary still has a lead of 240 delegates.
Obama had a lead of just 97 delegates at this point eight years back.

Still, last night was a sham.  Bernie gained 20% in terms of net delegates on Hillary, but gained just 4/10ths of a point in the total popular vote between the two.

Hillary can't be trusted; bad judgment X2 on Patriot Act, X 15+ on Irag & subsequent $$3B "emergency" funding bills, same mistakes on Afghanistan, wrong on credit card industry's bankruptcy bill, 0 plans for post-Quadafi Lybia, 0 plans for post-Assad Syria, full support for NAFTA, etc., etc.

One Hillary interview (as Secy of State) summed it up for me: she was asked about Egypt, and she gushed about her many pleasant, intimate dinners at the home Hosne & Suzanne Mubarak--all the while Mubarak was governing--for 30 years--by emergency decree and imprisoning political dissidents! Hillary was oblivious!?!

Bernie is the true democrat. Hillary votes like a Nelson Rockefeller--or worse. If Bernie doesn't get the nomination; this is one of many [d]emocrats who will write-in or vote for Dr. Jill Stein rather than hold our noses (again) and vote for another DLC Democrat.

Over at LGM Paul Campos has gone crazy, as has Erik Loomis though he redeemed himself a bit this week. Just slamming Clinton. As if the alternative, was, you know, even thinkable.
