“Of course it is. Huck’s being in the there keeps McCain from walking away with the South, which would probably happen otherwise and would pretty much assure Mr. Amnesty the victory.”

There’s something to be said for that. Whoever he takes votes from, and despite his being a terrible candidate who would make a terrible president, by splitting the votes and taking delegates he opens the possibility of a brokered convention, where a good candidate might actually be chosen instead of one of the 4 we have left.

It's long overdue for a brokered convention. This antique 1920s Reformers Ideal of having the people vote for these yahoos months before we need a candidate is ridiculous.

It's time to make the parties responsible for what they do by eliminating CFR AND the primary election system.

These selections should be in smokefilled convention centers by professional politicians who then duke it out in a Fall campaign for 6 weeks or so.
