The leaders of the socialist Democrats are doing a great job with their party. They shouldn’t change a thing. Keep up the good work commies!
Kucinich will ride into the convention and unify the party, and save it from electoral disaster...
Chickenzzzzzz:
Training your entire constituency to think/vote as victim groups and then putting a system into place that can invalidate the votes of those groups by people who “know better”.
are coming HOOOOOOOME.... to ROOOOZZZZT:
Dhimmirat primary 2008.
Or not. We are now being told that "committed delegates" really aren't. So, there's yet another scab to peel off (maybe). That is the lot in life of all who insist on seeing everything in shades of grey, or, worse yet, they see justice as "evolving".
The Dems have pandered to every minority in this country telling each that they are the most important part of the mix. Thusly when a woman seemed a shoe-in, another minority ran against her and has half the Dem party genuflecting before him.(Remember when he blew his nose into the microphone? EEEEEWWWW). They are reaping what they have sown and the spectacle isn't over yet. More popcorn please!
Too bad there’s no “stock market” where you can short sell the dhimmirat party.
Yeah, but when a party does devise a system that picks a candidate, such as the Republican primary system, people wail that it picked a candidate.
Be very afraid.
I notice he doesn’t list devine retribution as a possible reason for the democrats’ current woes...
I’m stocking up on popcorn as this summer’s Democratic convention will be better than a professional wrestling double header.
This a is what happens when you for years sell the notion of “popular vote wins” when it isn’t true, not even for the DemParty.
Are you saying the republican primary system is reflective of the votes and will of the people???
It’s beyond reform. It’s a failure. Time to pull out.
In the electoral college, each state is winner-take-all. Each state has a certain number of electoral votes – based on population – and whichever candidate gets the majority of the popular vote gets all of the electoral votes.
Not all of them.
The only thing wrong with the GOP primary system is the order of states which vote and the use of open primaries. I think the order of primaries should be based on the "redness" of state in previous general election, coupled with the population size. All primaries should be closed, and any state with an open primary should lose half of its delegate allotment, with the remaining closed primary states getting a boost in delegates.
With that in mind, I think Wyoming should be first for the GOP. It is solid red and has a handful of people so that even a no-name candidate can get his or her message out at little cost. If you have a series of small red states go first, then even a poorly-financed GOP contender would have a good chance to make a showing.
Blue states like NH should be at the end of the line, not the beginning.
GOOD IDEA!!
