Re: Is It A Problem If The Democratic Primary Goes (none / 0)

Too bad elections aren't won by the popular vote.

Actually they may be. A poll today had most democratic voters (I think around 60%) saying SDs should vote by popular vote, not pledged delegates. So it may very well be decided by popular vote. Remember democrats are still angry at 2000 results where Al Gore won the popular vote.

Granted this may still be Sen Obama, but more likely Sen Clinton will hold the popular vote lead at the end of this process.

I've always thought (even before this was an issue) that the super-delegates should vote as their state votes.

I don't want my representatives voting based on what another state wants.

Hey, we'll see, no point having a pointless back and forth.

You forget that MI and FL will be seated or revoted.

I remember Florida all to well.

I don't care what Bush wants me to believe; I believe in fact.

In primaries, delegates count.  In generals, the electoral college counts.
