Nice piece but nothing will matter
by ecw
Nice summary, but no matter what they decide it won't make any difference because of the way the Democrats assign delegates: proportionally. I don't believe there's any mathematical model that permits Hillary to beat Barack in the delegates as long as he polls 40%+ percent in any election. They might as well save the money and follow the rules everyone agreed to way back when. Let's face it, unless someone drops out, the nominee will be determined by the superdelegates. I suppose after 10 ballots, Al Gore would happily step in as a compromise candidate. :)
