"CRIMINAL" and "contrary to democracy"?!? Seriously, how long have you been following American party politics, and do you get mad whenever Congress votes on a spending bill --and you don't get a vote?

Last time I checked, the Democratic Party is at the very least entitled to a voice with regard to who will serve as its standard bearers in general elections.

And wuddyamean "reversal"? If the Democratic primary voters and caucusgoers --who determine roughly 80 percent of the convention delegates as it is-- prove incapable of arriving at a clear consensus on the question of a Democratic presidential nominee, then the superdelegates will swing it one way or another.

Would the toss of a coin be more in keeping with one's vision of the democratic process?
