Now that that's all over with, can we please focus on beating John McCain?

I'm angry.
I'm angry that our party has no leaders, zero, none, nada. And I'm really angry that those in leadership positions seem intent on reaching across the aisle, playing it safe, not choosing...

It was a telling sign that neither Democratic candidate saw fit to visit Punxsutawney before the Pennsylvania primary. Nobody wanted the press to remember Bill Murray's Groundhog Day in any way, shape or form. But even without stump speeches next to Punxsutawney Phil, it's hard not to think of living...
