2. If that should happen, a DU poll should determine the winner.

5. Popular Vote.. think back to 2000 when we "lost" after winning the popular vote
Was there ONE PERSON who wasn't pissed and ready to throw up? Then why do that to the more then 1/2 of our party who would feel excactly the same way if their candidate wins the popular vote, but doesn't get the nomination.

If you want democrats to lose the general elction, then go ahead and dis-infranchise over 1/2 of the party with one stupid move and see how many people rush out to vote for the competitor who just "stole" the seat that they felt (rightfully) should have gone to their own candidate.

Delegates are political.. Super Delegates are bought & bribed with favors, promises, positions, etc. That is NOT the way to determine this election.

8. The first one to meet that magic 2025 number gets it. Otherwise, it is a brokered convention.
At the end of the day, someone has to be handed that 2025, no matter how it plays out.

9. Muzzle loading pistols at 20 paces, or sabers...hmmm I think I like sabers
It seems to demand more affective involvement. It's not just a point and squeeze, but a deliberate lunge and penetration. The feeling of puncturing skin and glancing off ribs...all transmitted into the hand and up the arm at the same instant that the eyes are recording realization of loss registered on the face of the opponent.

Which candidate can do the deed? Which has the stone cold determination to put their opponent away...permanently??????

Sarcasm dudes...:sarcasm:

17. Delegates and Supers.
If you want to change the rules, do it next time. Can't do it in the middle of the game.
