at DU, this is common. A very Patronizing view of democracy - in which these few - in their great wisdom and knowledge of elections (though I believe the few tend to be a bit younger than most duers and actually have less political experience.. but thats another story) - THEY should be able to discern WHO the single candidate should be "for the good of the party". Other candidates should step aside "for the good of the party". All members of the party should ALWAYS vote for the selected nominee "for the good of the party" regardless of that candidates positions or records on issues.
I am beginning to think that this is the "anti-democracy" branch of the democratic party.
