8 years ago Clinton: 'I am prepared to go the distance' KENOSHA, Wisconsin (CNN) - Hillary Clinton is preparing to take her nomination fight all the way through June and to the Democratic convention in Denver, she told reporters in Wisconsin Saturday. "I campaigned with my husband until he wrapped up this nomination in June [of 1992]," she said at a press conference here. "I thought it was fun. I had a good time. I am prepared to go the distance." politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com I don't recall what happened 8 years ago but this does not sound that much different then what Sanders is talking about..

It won't surprise you to know I disagree. I think Krugman is right if Bernie continues the way he seems to be headed. I don't know where the final, definitive turn might occur but Bernie does seem sufficiently ideological/principle rigid to miss the signs. Let's just hope he doesn't wind up playing the Nader role.

I watched the Frank video you posted and I mostly agree with it. Krugman is part of the Meritocracy so no surprise there. Until the Republicans reform their Party and offer real opposition in Presidential elections I think the Democrats will continue to congratulate themselves on their well educated liberalism while they continue to export the jobs of the less fortunate. That may change when it gets to the point where an advanced degree from Harvard or MIT won't prevent your job from being exported, or an equivalently educated immigrant from India or China comes here and takes your job. I suspect Goldman Sachs and the big cap universe of multinationals are feeling pretty good about the future right now.
