Under a winner-take-all primary system, Hillary Clinton would have a wide lead over Barack Obama -- and enough delegates to clinch the nomination by June.
  • The game is the game

    If the rules of the game were different, Senator Clinton would be winning. But that would be a different game.

    Everyone understood and agreed upon the rules of this game when it began -- including the Democratic leadership of Michigan and Florida, who ought to be drummed out of the party.

    This article is like saying "Clinton would be winning at snooker," when it's eight-ball they're playing. Possibly true, but so what?

    Senator Clinton's campaign strategy was based on the idea that she'd have the nomination sewn up on Super Tuesday. That strategy didn't worry much about whether voters in the rest of the country would have the opportunity to make their voices heard.

    And in Maine, at least, the caucuses were on a Sunday afternoon, and turnout set records. How is that undemocratic or discriminatory?
