| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Slate Political Gab Fest for May 9th, 2008. |
| 0:09.7 | Today we're going to talk about politics and Burma, and then we'll have cocktail chatter on some three very interesting topics, |
| 0:15.9 | one of which is yet to be determined even by the person who's now speaking. |
| 0:19.3 | I wonder who that would be. |
| 0:20.8 | Can you introduce us? |
| 0:22.0 | I am going to. |
| 0:23.1 | I'm going to. |
| 0:23.8 | That's right. |
| 0:25.0 | David Plotz is the person you just heard from, our regular. |
| 0:28.7 | And Deputy Editor of Slate, I might add, for those of you who are joining us from the Federal Republic of Germany. |
| 0:34.6 | And Emily Bazelon is also with us, senior editor at Slate. And Emily, I'm going to ask you the first question. Wait, wait. We have got to point out that you guys are wearing the same shirt. I'm sorry. It's just too funny to be standing and sitting here talking to you. It's a very nice, green, button down, kind of cloth. It's not a button down. No, okay. There are buttons that has buttons. |

| 1:01.9 | Davis is a Kermit-esque and John's has a more forest green air about it. |
| 1:07.8 | It's very becoming on both of you. |
| 1:09.5 | Clearly a shirt designed for different. Do you think that our listeners are interested in this, Emily? Yes. It's a real women's touch. Yes. That's right. That's right. That's right. And so now to the one listener who's remaining and who stuck with the gap vest, we'd like to thank you for continuing on. And now you will hear Emily opine |
| 1:27.8 | about something other than shirts. And that is this, Emily. Is the race over for the Democratic |
| 1:33.0 | nomination? It's over, but it's not going to feel like it's over for a while because there's still |
| 1:38.6 | more sort of exiting of Clinton to play out. So Obama will be the nominee, and yet we're going to have another |
| 1:45.8 | few weeks, month, I hope it's not more than a month. I myself am really ready for somebody to |
| 1:51.2 | have the air of inevitability, and since Obama is ahead, I'm ready for Obama to have that air. |
| 1:56.7 | But it's going to be a dance to get her out of the race. |
