    Silly Season

    NYDem, quit pretending that either the party or the Democratic voters want a brokered convention -- in the modern era, it's a sure path to defeat. Everyone but you knows it. Only disgruntled Clinton voters want it, and even then I'm guessing that it's a slim minority of people who voted for her.

    Simply put, you're being ridiculous. Join the real world, where the only option was to pick a winner months ago. Obama won fair and square, based on the rules.
