How much longer before the primary/caucus season is over?

Can't wait..

1. Oh, this one is so much better than last big primary season for us.

We haven't even approached the gnashing of teeth and rending of garments and wailing that we had at the last rodeo.

2. Yep that was bad

no doubt

3. As a consolation, it will probably end for us before it does for the GOP.

They have many more candidates to be winnowed out. Some of them already have or are likely to be able to raise enough money to keep going even when their popular support is obviously drying up.

It's even remotely conceivable that, with the Republican field so splintered, they could conclude their final primary with no one having a clear majority of Convention delegates. Then there could be some quite unseemly bargaining and deal-making, with some people left on the sidelines and crying foul. Wouldn't that be fun!

5. Yep.. it could be very strange at their convention

but that seems to be the norm for them

4. According to some here, never.

This shit started here even before Obama's second election. And it never let up since then, no matter how many times people said, "Make it stop!"

It is kind of the norm here to be in perpetual presidential campaign mode in spite of the fact that what we need to do is get organized and take back everything else, which happens all to be in the hands of the GOP.

1. State legislatures
2. Governorships
3. US House of Representatives
4. US Senate
5. Razor thin margin US Supreme Court

Needless to say, one day we might not win the White House and if we don't have some of these other things, we will all be in very deep doo-doo.

The secret is turn out, on which Democrats don't do too well. That is why we are in such a pickle that we are one presidential election away from oblivion.

The extent to which Democrats don't vote is the extent to which we lose. It is that simple.

So by all means, keep infighting over the Democratic Party nomination. That will drive voter registration and participation through the roof! And do so continually, never ending infighting. Surely that will achieve political gains. For the White House is the only thing that matters!!!!

Wait a minute. What if we lose that?


Think. Act!

6. This post should be an op

very well said

7. Thank god, the damage is very limited

DU has such a monstrous and outsized sense of entitlement. They are the ones who know.

Yet, I rarely if ever encounter a DUer in the real world at party function.
Numerically, the numbers here add up to a blip at most in the numbers of the electorate.
65,915,795 good people voted for President Obama last time around.

Even if all 500,000 DU profiles were real, that's a total of just over 3/4 of one percent. We figure that at any given time there are 15,000 active posters in forums such as this one and DKos. That's a lot of people unless you view it as a percentage of the the voters. It's two hundredths of a percent.

Yet the posturing that goes on here purports to be a good portion of the electorate. Really.
