if the Huffpo moderation were by any means fair, i might say that what Roemer's problems actually point to are basic problems with the electoral system.

Both the selling and buying of offices and the crass vote-fraud that can take place in close elections -- as we learned in December 2000 with Al Gore in Florida -- need to be overhauled. It is rational for no sensible American to participate AT ALL in an electoral system that we have seen can be easily RIGGED. Buddy Roemer's problems, therefore, are the problems of all United States citizens.

But why should I be unrealistic about the bias of the Huffington Post moderators? My current (no pun intended) view is that they do not truly reflect upon the character of Ms Huffington -- this is a huge sprawling network of people and she is only one person. Better yet...

Also, when I saw the "vote" thing -- i clicked ten, thinking that i was voting for the strength of the written article, not the candidates, who are all feces. So I gave them ALL a nine, except for Michelle, because she's cute for a hypnotized Minion.
