Is there still a race? Wait, what about democracy?

Lots of election stuff, with bonus sports:

1. I listened to On the Media yesterday. In April 4's edition, Bob Gladstone talked about how there was really not a race anymore, how Hillary Clinton could no way win (well, there's a way, but it involves three specific and mostly unlikely scenarios).

Listen to it yourself:

2. But! Sean Wilentz makes a case that H.C. has won way more votes by population and by popular count than B.O. Wait, doesn't that sound like 2000?

3. And! Let's stop pretending Obama is progressive, shall we? (Not that Clinton is. Not by any means at all.)

4. Also! Kristof says we're racist and sexist. Just in case you hadn't noticed any men flipping out about Clinton or any white folks losing their shit over Obama.

5. Finally! HOT DAMN! Stanford beats Connecticut! I so love it when Connecticut loses. And I love it when Stanford wins. Go, hippie dippie West Coast! AND: Because Tennessee beat LSU in possibly the ugliest Final Four matchup of all time, both of the women's teams in the final are coached by women.* Gonna have to find me a way to watch this game. (Gonna be rooting for the Cardinal too, darn tootin'.)

*I won't care about this as soon as just as many women are coaching Div. 1 men's teams as men coach women's teams. You tell me when that happens. I'll go out and chop down a tree or something womanly like that.
