@brhodes@AbdulElSayed Why hasn't Obama made a statement clarifying that he hasn't endorsed any candidate? Surely he knows voters are being misled, so his silence is pretty much a tacit endorsement at this point.
@neeratanden Sounds like Abdul is the most electable candidate, and primary voters would be wise to vote for him if they want to elect a Democrat in November.
@daveweigel Sounds like Abdul is the most electable candidate, and primary voters would be wise to vote for him if they want to elect a Democrat in November.
@bluestein Isn't that the only type of ballot that could possibly show a "discrepancy"? What would a "discrepancy" with a touch-screen-machine ballot even look like?
@davidsirota@TroyJackson207@chelliepingree@shennabellows But the state party (leadership) would have discretion to choose a new nominee, which seems like a guarantee that they'd pick the worst possible option. Unless the Platner campaign negotiates for a new election or for something at least somewhat democratic.
@ryangrim That's nice, but unless the Platner campaign can negotiate for an actual open primary process in return for dropping out before the deadline, it seems unlikely that the state party would pick Jackson.
@ryangrim Also "spent generations building it" is funny. If your ancestors had some money and earned interest on it over "generations", then you didn't "build" anything, and yes, it should be taxed aggressively.
