That is why I included popular vote...

Wins via those uber-democratic....caucuses? in red states that we can't ever win?

He'll be a laughing stock....winner without a mandate.

...And not the rules that NeuvoLiberal would like to pass off as such:

Rule 11.A. of the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2008 Democratic National Convention states the following:

11. TIMING OF THE DELEGATE SELECTION PROCESS

A. No meetings, caucuses, conventions or primaries which constitute the first determining stage in the presidential nomination process (the date of the primary in primary states, and the date of the first tier caucus in caucus states) may be held prior to the first Tuesday in February or after the second Tuesday in June in the calendar year of the national convention. Provided, however, that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 17 days before the first Tuesday in February; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February; and that the South Carolina primary may be held no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February. In no instance may a state which scheduled delegate selection procedures on or between the first Tuesday in February and the second Tuesday in June 1984 move out of compliance with the provisions of this rule.

Iowa & New Hampshire were in clear violation of Rule 11.A.  They should have been punished for breaking the rules, and their punishment would have been as outlined under Rule 20.C.1.a.

Violation of timing: In the event the Delegate Selection Plan of a state party provides or permits a meeting, caucus, convention or primary which constitutes the first determining stage in the presidential nominating process to be held prior to or after the dates for the state as provided in Rule 11 of these rules, or in the event a state holds such a meeting, caucus, convention or primary prior to or after such dates, the number of pledged delegates elected in each category allocated to the state pursuant to the Call for the National Convention shall be reduced by fifty (50%) percent, and the number of alternates shall also be reduced by fifty (50%) percent. In addition, none of the members of the Democratic National Committee and no other unpledged delegate allocated pursuant to Rule 8.A. from that state shall be permitted to vote as members of the state's delegation. In determining the actual number of delegates or alternates by which the state's delegation is to be reduced, any fraction below .5 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and any fraction of .5 or greater shall be rounded up to the next nearest whole number.

And Florida & Michigan?

Well, instead of strictly adhering to Rule 20.C.1.a. and reducing their pledged delegates by 50%, the DNC Rules 7 Bylaws Committee decided to take it a step further by exercising the authority granted to them by Rules 20.C.5. and 20.C.6. which allowed them to "impose sanctions the Committee deems appropriate."

All this mess is a result of the Democratic National Committee and the Rules & Bylaws Committee not applying the rules equally and fairly.

And those are the rules.  Might I suggest that everyone take the time to review them please.

You do realize that Dean's post IA speech was standard political fare, right? The media altered the sound by removing the crowd noise to make his "scream" seem demented, and then played it on a continuous cable news loop for days.

You seem to be ignorant about the ways the media have tried to control our politics over the past 30 years or so. Maybe you don't even realize that they have been shilling for Obama for the primaries, or see the coming 180 degree turn they will be taking if he gets the nomination.
