Uh... wouldn't winning elections be a pretty good measure of "electibility"? By that measure, Obama's the more electible -- Clinton's substantial wins notwithstanding. We know Clinton's been saying it is unfair to count the caucus states, or the "red" states, or the non-swing states.
I agree there is plenty of room for improvement in the DNC rules for the primary process. Let's get a good discussion going over that soon. But, to change the rules of the game in the 4th quarter would be every bit as unfair as the Supreme Court's appointment of GW Bush was in 2000.
No, we are not "fooled" by the election tally so far, we are observing it. If you know of some instance of voter fraud or vote cheating, why not inform us all about it right here in this forum? And, while you're at it, 'splain for us why none of the campaigns have issued any public statements implying such things?
Yes, Clinton supporters count too. As do supporters of Richardson, Biden, Edwards, Kucinich, Dodd. Simply "counting" does not mean you get to overturn the results of democratic elections and caucuses.
