So even though Sanders apparently has a massive lead in Alaska

when independents are included in the polling (and they CAN vote in our caucus if they register as Dem at the caucus site), guess whose campaign headquarters is in the same building as the Alaska Democratic Party. Any guesses as to whom the super delegates will go even if Bernie runs away with the caucuses? This is so irritating.

(I kid, I kid), If he wins in the end, 2008, they will switch their pledge or risk splitting the party. I am not counting them at RSD for that precise reason.

And when the proverbial worm turns, everything changes. The defenders of the status quo are simply incapable of seeing the changes. If you notice, every ratfucking thing they do backfires.

You're talking about one county. I'm talking about the STATE Democratic Party headquarters. There is a difference.

The Democratic Party needs a purge...a relentless, corporatist-removing purge.

I know you're anxious for the coronation, but there is a process and several more states will have their say. Save your gloating - it's unbecoming.

play a part in this election. They didn't in 2008 either, even though Obama's supporters swore Hillary was going to "steal" the election with them. It's all a bunch of hot air.
