There has still been a lot of hype on the latter end of this primary, but each state's election does not seem to have much actual impact. For a long time now, Clinton has been winning many late primaries rather big, and yet Obama keeps coasting as the front runner. It seems to me that, all media hype aside, Super Tuesday still casts the dye. This is not my specialty though. I could be wrong.

Some of the disenfranchised voters got the message. If I were a MI or a FL Dem, I'd be honked off with the party over this whole mess, most importantly for disenfranchising me.

And then there will be a Democratic nominee who will proceed to clean McCain's clock. Do be sure to tell us how hard you're laughing then. :) Outkast: I’m guessing it will continue to the convention.
