The Democrats' anti-momentum
The '08 race has revealed the weird science of the Democratic primary system -- and the true problem with the long Obama-Clinton battle.
By Walter Shapiro [2008-03-24]

  • the obvious answer

    Use a nomination process that is the exact same as how the REAL presidential election is held.

    The winning candidate of each state gets all the electoral votes from that state. Whoever gets the most electoral votes obviously has the best chance of winning.

    NO DELEGATE SPLITTING AND NO OPEN PRIMARIES.

    Inviting the opposition party to vote in your own primary has got to be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard.
