I had no idea until this year how screwy this process is. The US has no right to bitch about other countries' elections until we get proportional representation.

Well the old idea was that a party was not like a country... it was a group of people, some with a lot more power than others. That perception seems to be changing... we'll see if it comes down to a brokered, dead heat convention.

BTW, the definition of "brokered":

bro·ker (brkr)
n.
1. One that acts as an agent for others, as in negotiating contracts, purchases, or sales in return for a fee or commission.
2. A stockbroker.
3. A power broker.
tr.v. bro·kered, bro·ker·ing, bro·kers
To arrange or manage as a broker: broker an agreement among opposing factions.
