...Crow’s erudite message gets a little garbled. It’s not clear, for instance, whether “Gasoline” is advocating a cut-back on emissions or a populist cut in oil prices (which would seem to have the opposite effect). In the end, it doesn’t really matter, because Crow pulls out of the political ballgame a little more than a third of the way through the album, and starts playing on the old heartstrings.

...they combine to elect the candidate who came in second, voters would feel cheated and suspect the whole process was undemocratic. Democratic voters remember those feelings from 2000. Primaries are not necessarily meant to be democratic. They are the creation of the political parties and are in effect private clubs run by the members, who decide the rules. But if the Democratic Party wants to have a strong future and retain all those young voters coming out for the first time, the results need to seem and actually be democratic with a small...
