Chancellor Valorum Cannot Save the Republic (Biden is at Best a Band-Aid)

I linked to a Salon article and compared Hillary to Al Gore as an unlikeable policy wonk who would lose to Trump.

Has the Political Animal gone full DNC establishment?

The best article I've seen on the Democratic Primary

I apologize in advance for this crappy excuse for a diary, but I'm experiencing a repetitive motion-induced pain up and down my arm and really shouldn't be on a keyboard today!

However, I saw a link to this article on Twitter. It's about 3 weeks old. It's the clearest analysis of the election I've seen yet, and I wanted to draw folks' attention to it.

Here it is. I hope it's useful to you guys. The author is clear-headed and honest.
