The Democrat Party is too smart to let ordinary Democrats choose the nominee. Maybe we could rig the general election so that only intellegent folks can vote. We might get a better government out of it.

Personally, I think you should be 35 before you can:
1. Ride a motorcycle
2. Get Married
3. Vote

If you rig the general election so only intelligent folds can vote, there would be NOBODY voting on democrats side.

The Democrat Party is too smart to let ordinary Democrats choose the nomineeUnder our present nominating "system", nominees are chosen neither by "ordinary" party members nor by political types who know what is best for their respective parties.
Being a "party member" for purposes of primary voting is meaningless. On January 8, 2008, I was a Democrat for six minutes.
Why does it make sense for my vote to equal that of lifelong "real" Democrats, or even worse, of Democrat elected officials, who presumably have reasons to wish teh Party well?
The same thing is true on the GOP side.
There is no rhyme or reason to the current priomary process, which is one reason that the results are so consistently bad.
