During the interview with the Clinton spokesperson, Adaora asked as to why Clinton was "fighting for the voters" now -- and a nice followup was missed when the spokesperson admitted that (paraphrased) 'if only 10,000 had voted, of course no one would be fighting for their votes'. So for 2 million voters you fight, but for 10,000 you ignore them? Where's the dividing line that makes it worth Clinton's time? I agree that if the situation bothered either candidate so much that they'd compare it to the Voting Rights act, then you protest when it is first announced that the primaries would be disallowed and you make sure *every* vote counts.

One (very) tiny correction - Minnesota was mentioned by Andrea Bernstein as one of those upper Midwest states that has gone "Republican lately" Although the state may be less overwhelmingly Democratic that it was in the days of Eugene McCarthy, Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale... it's pretty hard to name a state that has been more reliably Democratic. Minnesota hasn't voted for a Republican Presidential nominee since Richard Nixon very narrowly defeated McGovern in '72. Right now, recent local polls have shown that either Clinton or Obama would easily defeat McCain in November. Thanks for a great new radio program. I enjoy listening.
