..... And actually give that pep rally/dog-and-pony show some purpose. It would be a great exercise in participatory democracy if the delegates went to the floor and did something other than officially certify the pre-ordained nominee. N'est-ce pas?
I'm not a supporter of either of the Big 3 (still pining for a candidate - Gore - who's not running) but will obviously vote for whomever our nominee is. I'd just like the process go until the end.

A dude can dream.....

1. Stranger things have happened and we do have a new
demographic of voters coming of age that might change the status quo. One can hope.

2. Exactly what I was thinking earlier tonight. We'd all win in that scenario.

4. At which time Hillary will still win.
She's got almost all the superdelegates.

5. I'd feel one hell of a lot better about the process if that happened.
