Only Joe Klein would dream this up
Because in the mind of Joe Klein and those like him the lowly, unwashed masses don't really count; only Responsible Party Elders do. So what if the Democratic voters want Obama or Clinton? Those Responsible Party Elders will decide that, for their own good, they'll get neither!
But this would be a disastrous move. In effect it would tell Democratic voters and grass-roots activists, many of whom are involving themselves for the first time, that their choices don't really matter. Then stand by in November to watch the party implode.
