I realize it's a forlorn hope now, but I think the best course would be for the roll call vote to result in a virtual tie for Obama and Clinton, with the 15th vote bringing the Democratic Party together under the one man in the nation who exemplifies their hopes and aspirations; the one man who symbolizes Democratic ideals; the only person with the experience, the gravitas, the ideology in step with the American people as a whole, instead of a small whiny majority. The man who can bring the Democratic Party and the nation as a whole to a better, brighter future, John McCain. The Democrats would be doing a lot better if they actually had somebody to nominate.

The end of the Kennedy Era as he passes the torch. Or tries to. At the moment it seems to have tumbled to the ground between the Clintons and Obama.

It's too early in the cycle for that to work. We're going to see more and more on the topic. Obama could have just said "I made a mistake associating with this man... he's not the Ayers I have known for years, but he's unrepentant and I refuse to associate with him in the future". Sure, it would be BS, but now it's about Obama's hatred of free speech. Obama trying to use prosecutors to silence Ayers critiques was indeed a disastrous move.
