Actually this could be just what the democrats need...

A spectacular open convention. Who will be the nominee?
Played right the drama could hypnotise the US!
Fascinated, people would watch a call, no a plaintive cry, "Hillary, SAVE US!" And she would come in, coronated, and with a rocket boost in the polls--she could win...

certainly, the dems who would normally stay at home this year would dance to the elections in November.

Exactly. And she would have won no primary, faced no scrutiny in the media and could be the next Hitler for all anyone knows or cares.

You are on the right track, but haven't taken it far enough, yet. What they need is a Democratic nomination reality show. Put the 10 contestants on stage, have immunity challenges like 'I hate George W. the most' and 'Outdrink Teddy', vote a nominee off the stage each night, and then have a big no-holds-barred jello wrestle-off between Hillary and Rev. Al at the end to decide nomination

Yeah...but anyone who's not a Dem would RUN to vote for the GOP candidate.

Why?

Because the alternative would be called "President Clinton" for eight years.
