The next time a Democratic party insider raises a stink about the electoral college, or any other issue with a "one person one vote" premise, I hope someone remembers to call them out about "superdelegates."
(It's their party, they can choose their nominee however they want to. Smoke-filled room for all I care. I just find it ironic, given the parties' reputations, that 20% of Democratic convention delegates are unelected VIPs. Any given Republican has distinctly more say about his party's presidential nominee than any given Democrat.)
Speaking of RealClearPolitics links, here's why a crowded GOP field gives Mike Huckabee a big advantage. Sent to me by the biggest erstwhile Ron Paul supporter I know. (I don't actually know that he's shirked Paul, but he's the kind of guy who'd quickly disavow all the racist newsletter stuff mentioned in that TNR story. Long Islanders aren't typically into racism/anti-Semitism that I know of.)
