Democratista's comments:
on Sam Scandal
Sam should go back to work. If he's not effective and can't lead, we'll know soon enough -- and certainly in enough time to recall him. There are many threads to this story -- Did WW overstep in its reporting? Is Sam being held to a different standard because he's gay? Is his lie about sex indicative of his ability to be honest and forthright in his job as mayor? All of these are interesting, but the most important question cannot be answered by jawboning. The answer lies in what happens after he goes back to work.

on The Race Has Just Begun
If the photo finish had resulted in a Clinton victory, the hue and cry for including Obama on the ticket would be deafening. The long and invigorating primary season proves that the Democrats have two strong, compelling candidates that, together, tappeal to tens of millions of voters . Frankly, what is the downside of putting Hillary on the ticket? Is it really possible that Obama supporters would not vote for him if she is on the ticket? I think not. But many Clinton and potential McCain supporters will be more inclined to vote Democratic if they stand together against McCain.
