It's good to see Clinton's true colors showing and us Californian's are finally stepping up to show the country that we're not afraid to speak and vote our minds in this Democratic primary. I have great admiration for Cardoza for this bold move and I hope that others follow. Our goal is to win the election in November and we have to unite behind one candidate NOW so we'll have the proper time to prepare. He's absolutely right, it's time to unite and we cannot afford to waste any more time playing Clinton's "try to win the nomination at any cost" game. Our party can't afford such a costly game... -Kenneth Great post.

It was so ironic to see my state finally have a say in the primary process and then realize that the primary was so early that Obama didn't have the chance to overtake Clinton, even though he would today. Cardoza seems to be putting out the call to make the Rules Committee meeting moot by inviting superdelegates to step out now and make their preferences known. Because of the timing of the primaries, they may have to come out in force before June 3rd, so as to neutralize any battleground Clinton may think she has there. Hi Debbie,

'tis spot-on. I esp. appreciate that Cardoza was careful to articulate the need to recognize the voters of MI and FL. they should count. they deserve to count. it isn't their fault that the system is so STUPID broken. (meanwhile, Clinton's attempt to wrangle that fact to her advantage is more evidence of patheticness on her part, but -- digression.) etc. Karoli, man, thanks for this post. ’tis spot-on.
