Poll question: If there was instant-runoff voting, how would you rank the three Dem front runners?
In instant-runoff voting, you rank the candidates in order of preference. More details at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting

(Yes, I know there are more candidates than the top three, but let's be realistic.)

1. I voted 1. BO; 2. JE; 3. HC but actually...
I wouldn't rank Hillary at all.

That's an amazing coincidence! GMTA etc.

4. Go ahead and be snarky about candidate exclusion.
Can't wait to hear you blubber when it happens to yours. Or maybe the press will simply stop covering your candidate, same thing. It will happen and then you will know the feeling of despair. Peace, Kim

7. If I put more than 3 candidates, the number of combinations is more than 10.
2! = 2
3! = 6
4! = 24
