But it's not. It never was. So it (that is to say, your argument) doesn't matter. The race is defined by the rules, predetermined before the race. To say so now would be the same as saying if jellybeans were dollar bills we'd all be rich. go away... Pfffft! Dear "interesting point"...

SHE’LL HAVE WELL OVER 300 SOON, A LANDSLIDE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION. ALSO, MOST OF THE STATES OBAMA WON VOTED REPUBLICAN IN THE LAST ELECTION AND PROBABLY WILL AGAIN. THE SILLY CAUCUS SYSTEM REALLY SKEWS THE RESULTS AND ALLOWS ACTIVISTS TO UNDULY INFLUENCE THE NOMINATION, BUT THESE ACTIVISTS STILL ONLY GET 1 VOTE EACH IN NOVEMBER. OBAMA IS EASILY THE WEAKER CANDIDATE, AND IF HE LOSES IN NOVEMBER, THE SUPERDELEGATES WILL BE SKEWERED FOR NOT DOING THEIR JOB OF PICKING THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE. IS IT TIME TO REVAMP THE SYSTEM??? INTERESTING POINT
