until March 4. I know what Obama supporters are thinking. That the next 3 weeks contests should be changed to winner-take-all. Our party's rules are making this as hard as possible for Obama.

When Hillary finally starts to fall behind on Tuesday, Democratic Party rules will keep her right in it, even though she may lose every contest until March.

1. Should we change the rules in mid-stream?
Or just play by said rules?

3. You're right
Proportional representation will keep Hillary and Obama neck and neck with eachother, though Obama will benefit from his support in the MSM with any victories he gets. Even though i'm a Clinton supporter, I have to wonder how long this thing will drag out and how much potential damage could be done to the party's chances in november because of it

4. you obviously don't have a clue as to what Obama supporters are thinking
I certainly do NOT think any state should be winner take all in the primaries. I'm glad it's not winner take all for many reasons- one of which is that it's even more helpful to Obama than it is to Hillary. He beats her by larger margins than she beats him.

Because, then we all have a big big problem in the Democratic Party.
