Slog - Comments on Good Question http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/good_question_2 Postman wants to know: What did Dwight Pelz, chair of the Washington State Democrats, mean by this quote in the New York Daily News? "It's time for us to end this," added Dwight Pelz, Washington State party chairman and undecided superdelegate. "The candidates are tearing each other apart, and it's not good for the party. I think we need to have a candidate." Is Pelz about to doff his neutrality and endorse? People, including me, want to know....

I kind of hope not. I more than kind of hope not.

"We have two wonderful candidates- Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama - but no nominee. They are essentially tied in the delegate count. Pennsylvania is looking close and may not decide the contest."

1. actually looked over there congressional records and all of her bills are about naming post offices and no brainer 911 bills. Obamas are more nuanced and meaningful. ie a national registry so that victims of natural disaster can find their loved ones.
2. She has the largest amount of earmarks and all of them and they are for direct compaign contributors.
3. Experience??? After the health care debacle of 92, she didn't do anything in the White House that any other first lady has done. Except take photo ops with Wo and other large corrupt contributors (which was redacted in the release of her schedule). If being the first lady counts as experience than why isn't Laura Bush running.
4. She is ruining the party, the electorate, and apparently is willing to slice America up into 3rds just for the chance to lose the Presidency.

Is that really that hard to figure out. Dwight is the party chair. He wants to kick ass in November.
