Which is more reason the Democrats should nominate Obama. Gee, do you want the candidate who only wins when people who are already going to vote Democrat are voting or when independents and Republicans who might cross over are also voting? Hmmm...


If the Democrats nominate Hillary and lose, it's their own damn fault. And I will be forced to laugh at them.

I'm fine with that. I was talking about a national one day Primary Election held on the same day. Maybe the first Tuesday in May. Voters would be able to make up their own minds instead of following the early primary states. Michigan and Florida delegates and voters wouldn't have been penalized if all Primaries were held on the same day.

Or if their state parties had...you know...listened to the rules.

Either way, the national parties aren't at fault in this whole fiasco.

Moreso than the parties, especially if it is the legislatures that decided to move the primary dates up, and not the state parties.

That's still not the voters fault. Electing someone doesn't make him your responsibility. It would be impossible to foretell that the legislature would do that.

See, this is the problem with Representative Democracy. No accountability, and only the voters, especially first time voters who did not elect their state legislature, suffer.

Indeed, but none of this is either here nor there, unless the delegates get seated, in which case that would be unfair to the candidates. And keeping the rules consistent in a race like this is a bit more important than making sure "every vote counts" or some such, especially since that's already not really the case.

Well, I am most pleased at these results. The capital of our nation once again proves itself a leader, its citizenry having confirmed the lead of his Excellency, the lion Barack Hussein Obama. I trust you are all celebrating, and looking forward to his imminent nomination. We are, as of this day, nigh unstoppable.
