Plato's republic? Odd, I just had an enlightening conversation with an Obama supporter upthread who thought that Plato's ideal of the soldiers doing soldier-stuff, the civic leaders doing the civic stuff and the hoi-polloi simply doing what they're told was a pretty good setup. Much less messy than our anachronistic consent of the governed.
Gives a new perspective on the purpose of superdelegates.
