What's the matter?  Don't you want to break federal law?  And if you do,
and by some miracle you are successful, you get to be the guy who killed
the dream.  You'll be hated by young people and African-Americans for
the rest of your life.  Gee, it sounds like such an attractive offer,
John.
 
I am so pissed at Penn.  He has screwed this thing up and now it's too
late.  Barack will be over 50% tonight, he'll crush her in Nevada and
South Carolina.  And then, what?  She's going to rally and beat him in
California and 21 other states?  Not after Penn has bled that campaign
dry.  She's toast.
