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.

  • FL and MI and the delegate count

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but if they counted both Florida and Michigan wouldn't the nomination threshold go up as well? I was under the impression that 2,025 delegates was based on the fact that neither Florida nor Michigan were going to seat any delegates. If their states counted as "0" in equation, then wouldn't adding their delegate totals just up the threshold?

    does anybody know?
