    If Only

    What the article is true. So what? I'll tell you. The DNC hierarchy hve their knickers in a knot because the primary isn't decided. Gee, where can we point the blame.

    By definition, the set up was intended to make the primary season longer. How else can you account for the idiocy that is now happening. But now the it seems that people are in a hurry to get this thing over with.

    But beyond the proportional primaries it gets even weirder. Let's let Guam and Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and "Americans Abroad' have delegates to the convention even though they con't vote for president.

    I can go on about how the caucus is only for the party insiders. but who cares. That's the system. I like to look to the delegates and the staes. How many of the states that the candidates have won have voted for a Democrat for president in the last 40 years. Those states are really inportant to an election..... You bet they are.
