Of course, Hil is whining about caucuses now
Obama's campaign has been too effective in them for her liking. If she was doing better in caucus states, you'd never hear a thing about it. Just as if Obama stood to gain more from the Fla and Mi delegates, you'd never hear Hil standing up for the placement of those delegates. Whatever is convenient for her, do anything, say anything.

1. I like what Andrea Mitchell said...
Something like "The reason Hillary doesn't do well in caucuses is b/c caucuses require hard work...." :rofl:

5. There are legitimate criticisms about caucuses...
...as they do not reflect a cross section of the state's population.

10. They are more representitive of wealthy yuppies.
Who can afford to spend 2-3 hours of their life pimping a candidate. Primaries are direct votes, caucuses are elites getting together for a bash.

14. And they are right.
It is an undemocratic process designed to involve party faithful and anyone who can pack the hall. It tends to exclude everyone else.

8. You're so silly. And, vice versa.
I actually remember an obama suporter saying that it would be fine to give those florida delegates to hillary, if she didn't need them. Remember, she won them, and no crap about obama being unknown, please.

15. Votes under a pretense that the delegates won't count?
Turnout would be higher, and numbers would be different if the delegates were known to count beforehand. There would also be extensive campaigning. To suggest the results would not change would be disingenuous.
