A-freaking-men to this.

And before someone pipes in with "but they broke the rules!!!!11!!1!!", yes, I am aware, I still think the party could have handled the situation upfront a little better and avoid the massive nightmare this has become.

Well-I had this rather odd thought in mind:
"Hi, this is Karl and this is just how we are going to mess with the DNC THIS year.":eek::rolleyes:;):D:)

Hi, this is Howard and this is how we're going to help Obama have the nomination locked up early.

If anything the primaries from MI, FL, OH, and PA should count double. The popular vote means nothing in presidential elections.
The Democrats have given up on Florida, IMO and they're probably counting on Michigan to go blue because of the union presence.

Yeah, with how Dean managed to derail his own campaign, maybe putting him in charge of the whole party's political train may not have been the best idea in hindsight, hmmm???

Agreed. I'm beyond happy to see the Dems blowing it.

You and the rest of my family. I am anything but happy about it, but I'm almost resigned to it. I spent about an hour tonight debating with my father about what could happen if Hillary does pull this thing all the way to Convention if Obama doesn't get the "magic number" before then. Although I saw a news ticker today that something like 17 more superdelegates are supposed to pledge their support to Obama tomorrow. So it was probably a moot argument we had tonight, but it was fun designing all kinds of disruptive ways she could have shaken things up at the Convention.

That would work much better IF FL State House was controlled by the Democratic Party.
One comment is about cause and affect.
The other would be closer to result and effect.
