Why it's almost certain that either Clinton or Obama will get the nomination. [View All]

2008 is different than any other nominating year in the past. By Feb 6, over half the states will have voted- and that includes virtually all the delegate rich states: NY, CA, IL, FL, etc. On tsunami tuesday over 20 states will vote.

Choice is an illusion, unfortunately. Obama and Clinton are the only candidates with enough dough to blitz the airwaves after the 4 early primaries. Other voices will not be heard. They're the only candidates that will have large functional operations in the big states on Feb. 5th.

The system is fucked. This is no way to pick a nominee. We were better off when it was a longer process. I'm not suggesting a return to anything, however. Just a complete revamping.
