Interesting commentary reg. Ickes and 1988 and proportional voting. His statement about the super delegates gives fair warning to both Hillary and Obama.

Party Primaries have rarely been understood in the process of selecting the Party's Presidential Candidate.

The Primary for each party is basically a non-binding party straw poll of those who will not be going to the Party's caucuses and conventions with some crossover votes from party to party.

I am somewhat surprised that Obama was not aware of the rules that Ickes had gotten through a previous convention(is that correct) when OB started the campaign.

The Democrats definitely have a dilemna on their hands.

The Republicans appear to have agreed on McCain giving them the opportunity to solidify now.

I don't see Huckabee winning more delegates than McCain but do see his influencing McCain's choice of VP----not that it would be Huckabee but a choice agreeable to Huckabee's supporters.
