[President Buer]

It's hilarious because he should have started campaigning and building a support network years ago to get his name around and avoid problems like this. Granted he would have had to tell people he would be a Democrat but it also would have gotten more time to convince elected Democrats he was the answer. He could also have used the time to negotiate with community leaders around the country, the fiasco in the USVI with the superdelegate was embarrassing.

Good thing I didn't say that. And again, don't pretend that shit is okay.

Not over until the last vote is counted.

Probably because Hillary can't do math and appointed Bill to do the parts of the president job that involve it

Considering that the UK has allowed people to register for the EU referendum until midnight GMT today, and the vote takes place in two weeks. There's zero reason for the registration cutoff to be 6 months before the primaries. It does have an effect on smaller candidates who may not have announced their plans to run or picked up any media traction at all. To say otherwise is asinine.

The logistical problems of handling registration in our entire country (and other territories/ expats) can't be that impossible to manage clearly. So I see zero reason for a party in the US to be able to do the same at state level for their primaries.

6 months is a long ways out from an election to register. It should probably be changed, but I don't know enough about elections in New York to say either way. Maybe it's that long for a reason.

Ok what is the update? I took a break to catch up on work I needed to do.
