A few numbers
At the end of the primaries and caucuses in the prior cycle, progressive candidates (Edwards, Dean, Clark, Kucinich and Sharpton) had accumulated 797 pledged delegates.
At the end of the primaries and caucuses in the present cycle, progressive candidates (Edwards and Kucinich) will have accumulated only 7 pledged delegates.
As Gertrude Stein once said of Oakland, There's no there there.

Comments
Stein was not writing about Oakland proper. She was making a moderately subtle point about the difference between place and home.
Making a lazy argument (Edwards and especially Clark are nowhere near 'progressive' in any rational taxonomy; I've always considered Edwards the most conservative candidate for whom I have ever voted in a primary) is bad enough. Throwing in the lazy slur about Oakland was one step too far.
Get over yourselves, kids.
