members of Congress, party functionaries and activists who are technically free to vote as they wish

Yes. Technically.

They will technically vote 2 - 1 for hillary because the clintons have the past associations, networking, deals, and debts to make it so.

[. . .The Democratic Party chooses its nominee not by open vote, but by backroom maneuvering by party hacks, contributors and pols, and questionable rule changes. The result could be something like civil war within the party.]

The rage could go outside the party and spread into the streets with riots in cities like L.A., Detroit, D.C., etc.

It takes 2,025 of 4,090 to win it all...

Either the person writing this article must have flunked elementary arithmetic, or the Dummycrat honchos writing the convention rules did.

The point is, the race could be very close. This leads to a scenario in which Obama wins the national primary vote, both in the popular tally and delegate count, but loses the nomination at the convention... Think about that: The Democratic Party chooses its nominee not by open vote, but by backroom maneuvering by party hacks, contributors and pols, and questionable rule changes..... The media may fixate on the ideological rifts within the GOP. But the far more likely prospect is that Democrats could be torn apart for reasons of both ideology and race. There will be blood, indeed.

I love it. It's the Bush-Gore scenario, back to slap them in the butt.
