Violet Socks at Reclusive Leftist--probably the most ardent Clinton supporter on the Internet after Robin Morgan--has a post up today explaining why she won't vote for Obama even if he's the nominee. And while I don't agree with her conclusions--as...

It's official: Donna Brazile has gone loco . Forgive my overstepping Godwin's law, but even the Nazis did not show such gracelessness in victory in 1933.
