POPSFactCheck: Who's really responsible for crisis? "Screwing up takes a great deal of cooperation." D's blame R's and R's blame D's - but those accusations (and I have made them, too, sorry to say) are far too simplistic to help us fix the problem. Here's a list of contributors to the perfect storm.

POPS"Only through direct contact with the destitute" The heartlessness of Reagan theory implanted in Clinton law leaves us with a more brutal society, and a need to cry out "unceasingly for ... the rights of the worthy and the unworthy poor" - excellent writing from Catholic Workers

POPSThe Ron Paul counter-convention Media pitched "fracture" that never materialized during the DNC; Now there's a counter - rally of 10,000 people led by a Republican candidate, featuring Republican big names, in the same city as the RNC, and it doesn't make the news!

POPSUnity Realized: Hillary Nominates Obama In an incredibly unifying and symbolic moment during the New York state delegate roll call, Senator Hillary Clinton asks for a suspension of the vote and requests the nomination of Barack Obama by acclamation. RIP “Democratic Disunity” meme.

POPSDNC, don't disenfranchise me by counting "popular" vote! Eleven caucus states and Samoa aren't included! What kind of a popular vote ignores a fifth of the states? It's purely fictitious. Coincidentally, the Clinton campaign under-performed in the caucus states, and the Clinton campaign proposes this metric - popular vote - which leaves them out.

POPSNeither feminism nor democracy, FL & MI are situational ethics "All 12 Clinton supporters on the committee supported the penalties." Clinton strategist Harold Ickes: "This committee feels very strongly that the rules ought to be enforced." "The threat that these rules posed to our fundamental beliefs was discovered only ex post facto -- the facto in question being Clinton's current need to seat the delegations whose seatings she had opposed when she thought she'd cruise to the nomination."

POPSKU KLUX KLAN WON'T ENDORSE OBAMA! Excellent satire - read the whole thing! Healthcare, it is assumed, is their point of disagreement. And "Noting her strength with the broad swaths of people who have no intention of actually voting for her, Senator Clinton also feels Obama's weakness with people who hate both of them with a passion should give unpledged superdelegates pause."
