You don't remember 2008 like I do

The 2008 primary was filled with procedural and other arcane fights. While the establishment was more evenly split (once Edwards was gone), there were major fights within the party, through the convention and in some cases beyond that.

Remember the fights over primary ordering? Or the delegates from Florida? Or from Michigan? Wasn't that pretty! And those a couple of open fights, "partnering" up with the local Repubs. Those look like process issues to me.
