You should feel lucky that you had McCain. That way it didn't turn into a complete ass kicking.

I hate to break it to you people, but McCain's being the nominee wasn't why you lost.

Quite the contrary, it's the only reason they kept the margin of victory in single digits.

I disagree, the winner take all system is better, the Dems should change there procedure so Hillary could win.

LOL

anyway, both systems have their flaws, but Proportional Representation is much fairer than giving all of a state's delegates to a candidate who gets 32% of the vote.

I don't mind proportional distribution of delegates, but it really needs to be done statewide, and not for individual districts as is done in many (if not all...not quite sure) DEM primaries.

Presidential candidates in each state should qualify in the same manner as other statewide candidates.

In other words, you'd want varying candidates from each party to be on the ballot in each state?
