If it had been a winner-take-all system, there would be a nominee -- Hillary Clinton. And nobody would feel defrauded. Now it's going to super-delegates. There's gonna be a big fight over Michigan and Florida. If Clinton wins, Obama's voters go back to playing video games. If Obama wins, Hillary's opposition research will be of enormous help to Republicans this fall. And all of this is happening on Howard Dean's watch!
Nice move trying to punish the Michigan and Florida voters, Howard. No good result for the Democrats can now come out of either state. Dean will be take much of the blame if the Democrats screw up this opportunity to defeat the party in power during an unpopular war and a recession.
If he ain't screaming now, he will be soon. All politics are gender based now. Get 11 republicans standing around and you have the makings of a football team, get 11 democrats standing around and you have the makings of a catfight. Fight on ladies.

"Nobody would feel defrauded" -- except Obama would still have a considerable lead in the popular vote, wouldn't he? If they were to nominate the candidate who got fewer votes, wouldn't the other guy and his supporters feel cheated?

If you think this is fun, just wait until instant runoff voting becomes the election method.
