Obama, Clinton: Paying a price for the primaries

Sen. John McCain’s "Straight Talk Express'' will roll out for a nostalgia tour this week, a bus-storming tour of many of the touchstones in the senator’s long life.

Yet, for the two Democrats still battling over their party’s presidential nomination, this will be a season to forget – if they can.

How much will it matter this fall, should Obama claim the Democratic nomination, that he devoted two decades to a church whose pastor spoke of damning America for its racial practices?

How much will it matter, should all or half of the delegations of Florida and Michigan be denied their seats at the Democratic National Convention in Denver?

It is super that America is finally getting a look at what these criminal charlatans are all about.

I think what we are seeing this election cycle is the logical conclusion of the “beauty contests” called primaries.
I think we need more state conventions and yes even caucuses.
But you say caucuses produced Obama, well producing an Obama or some other “radical” is a good barometer to demonstrate that the core of the party is out of touch with the electorate.
