For the Democrats, proportional representation, rather than producing chaos, underscored the party's commitment to inclusion.

For all the complaining about proportional representation, this sentence is roughly where I am at the moment. It's not the problem. In fact, I suspect you could argue it helped generate a great deal of enthusiasm. Which can only help for the general.

>>Even the most seemingly absurd feature of the way Democrats select their nominee has had positive results: the allocation of delegates by proportional representation.<<

Dale -

I don't see why proportional representation should be considered absurd. Seems eminently fair and, dare I say, democratic (small d). Other than that, it's an interesting article.
