it would be more democratic (note the little "d&quot to do it the way Nebraska and Maine do. But it's up to each state, so whatever they decide, they decide.

And one can be a partisan Democrat and still admit that our party isn't perfect. While there are huge differences between the two parties in priorities and goals, when it comes down to the political nitty gritty, there is very little difference. Both parties are hypocritical when it suits their goals...that's just politics.
