Pretty much what it’s been telling me for several months now: As these people are not capable of planning and running a decent campaign they certainly should not be put in a position to attempt to run the country.

Under Democratic rules, congressional districts with a history of strong support for Democratic candidates are rewarded with more delegates than districts that are more Republican. Some districts packed with Democratic voters can have as many as eight or nine delegates up for grabs, while more Republican districts in the same state have three or four.

The system is designed to benefit candidates who do well among loyal Democratic constituencies, and none is more loyal than black voters. Obama, who would be the first black candidate nominated by a major political party, has been winning 80 percent to 90 percent of the black vote in most primaries, according to exit polls.

I can easily imagine some of the folks who set this system up thinking, “Well, we didn’t mean for it to work quite THAT way…”

Attributing his success only to soaring speeches and prodigious fundraising ignores a critical part of contest.

Indeed. First Lady for eight years does not automatically bestow extensive experience. And he doesn’t only have a pretty speech from 2004.
