geez this mourning for liz is really just getting out of hand. i’ve even seen some bewailing how it must be sexism that stopped her, a woman, from getting the nomination. i mean, hillary clinton has practically been erased here…

you know, i love liz but imho she made a crummy candidate. from the point of view of people who are not committed progressives who dine daily on details of positions, policies, and votes, she came across as a schoolmarm breathlessly overwhelming them with details, details, details. they weren’t one bit interested in hearing about her plan for that

amy is a practiced and accomplished politician and she makes inspirational speeches. she is also, may i point out, a progressive or at least a liberal democrat, and, incidentally, a female person. what about her?

given that liz garnered all of 12.5% here in CA, but that the media is draped in black these past two days over her departure, i have to conclude that that small slice of the democratic electorate contains many of the most influential opinion makers around
