6. The reason I asked you why you say that the Dems are being hypocrites...

Is because I was wondering where you got the impression that the Democrats in Nebraska didn't originally want to change the process to the current system.

Now if the Democrats in Nebraska were in favor of the winner take all system, because... I dunno, they once had control of the entire state of Nebraska AND sponsored the creation of a proportional counting process in order to cut out the Republicans, then I suppose that you could say that they're being hypocrites now. But Big Red Nebraska hasn't been controlled by Democrats since I dunno when, right?
