I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

What's this?

Who's leading the conversation?

This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

[I]s it hopeless? Not entirely. Given the Democratic Partys innovative method of doling out delegates, all thats necessary for her to snatch the nomination is:

1) A big, big win in Kentucky next Tuesday. Ideally, Obama should be limited to no more than 100 votes.

2) Oregon, scheduled for the same day, inexplicably breaks off and sinks into the Pacific Ocean.

3) Puerto Rico, clocking in on June 1, not only gives Clinton a huge majority, but also manages to become a state in advance of the vote.

4) Finally, on June 3 as the South Dakota polls open, Thomas Jeffersons head on Mount Rushmore comes to life and starts shouting, You go, girl.

An ambitious scenario, true. But nothing less than weve come to expect from the most hard-working political family in American history.

Yes, it could happen, after seeing her last night, I'll believe. Hillary was passionate about helping Americans, this is something I heard in Feb. and also last night, OK. Hillary really wants to helps us. I have pretty good womans instincts and my instincts tell me she is the real deal. A caring, kind woman who wnats to help us as a Nation.

My instinct and intellect say if she is given the chance she will go down as a great President!!

I wrote my article in the wee hours of the morning, there is more I should have said.
