this is a race for delegates, not the popular vote.

Now please launch into your standard diatribe about how you'll reward Obama in eight years if he just gives you what you want now, otherwise you'll ruin his career forever. Since you did mention blackmail, and you, DTaylor, have the power to make that come true.

My vote as a Dem in Cali should count MORE than a GOP crossover in Alaska not less.

What the hell does that even mean?

If he loses the popular vote he loses.

Hillary Clinton has to win every remaining state by sixty percent or more to win the popular vote, and that's the low estimate.

You didn't answer the question.  I didn't ask what should happen or who has a right to complain.  I'm interested in what will happen.

"Donna Brazille came right out and on a talk show with Maureen Dowd if Obama does not get the nomination "there will be blood.'"

Sorry my paraphrase was a little off.

And as far as Ruch Limbaugh saying it, I wouldn't know 'cause I don't listen to Dr. Drug.

Oh, they would LOVE that...  They would LOVE that..

That would be their BIG chance to do away with democracy forever... and ride in on their white horses to save the day for the rich and powerful..

All those new laws written under Bush.. would kick in, so we wouldn't have an election..

And it all would be 'the Democrats fault'..

Do I see Karl Rove in this somewhere?
Is this the big plan?

yeah

its the right thing to do.. we need to do it..

The courts did. The courts. Here:

A federal judge on Wednesday ruled Michigan's presidential primary law unconstitutional and blocked the state from giving voter lists from the Jan. 15 election to the state's major political parties.

U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds in Detroit ruled that the law's provision giving the list of voters' partisan preference only to the Democratic and Republican parties violated the rights of several small parties, who argued that the information should be distributed to all who wanted it or to no one.

Riiiiiight.
Here's Terry McAuliffe and Carl Levin re this very same issue in Michigan circa 2004:
"I'm going outside the primary window," [Michigan Sen. Carl Levin] told me definitively.

"If I allow you to do that, the whole system collapses," I said. "We will have chaos. I let you make your case to the DNC, and we voted unanimously and you lost."

He kept insisting that they were going to move up Michigan on their own, even though if they did that, they would lose half their delegates. By that point Carl and I were leaning toward each other over a table in the middle of the room, shouting and dropping the occasional expletive.

"You won't deny us seats at the convention," he said.

"Carl, take it to the bank," I said. "They will not get a credential. The closest they'll get to Boston will be watching it on television. I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules. If you want to call my bluff, Carl, you go ahead and do it."
