Did Hillary Clinton really win in Florida?

She trounced Obama by 17 points -- but in an outlaw primary whose delegates won't count. Or will they? It all depends on Feb. 5 -- and Democratic Party rules.

    The American Political System is INSANE

    Millions of dollars to run for office, then you have this, this, "system": primaries, outlaw primaries, causcauses, the freaking electoral college - whatever that is, and finally paperless Republican "voting" machines.

    And after all that, you have an "election", after which Diebold Corporation or the Supreme Court picks the President. Have I got that right?
