They are HELL bent on driving the party over a cliff.  All the numbers and polls and EVERYTHING else tells them what they need to know.  They are tone deaf.

This DNC will go down in history as the absolute WORST purveyors of presidential political judgment in history of our country.  The day after the election, the media will have a FIELD day ridiculing the Democrats for being the party of losers, again.

The illusion is the result of screwed up DNC rules.  First, by trying to exclude the voters in two of the United States.  They are American citizens who did no wrong, broke no rules, and committed no crimes, and deserve to have their votes counted just like the citizens of every other state.

Second, by holding caucuses that are mostly run by Obama thugs involving extreme fraud and corruption, and sometimes threats and assaults, as in Texas where more than 2000 complaints were filed and the DNC took no action.

Third, the delegate system is unequal, illegitimate, arbitrary, and ill-proportioned.  Voters in large populated areas are at a disadvantage.  Voters in primaries have their votes diluted by corrupt caucuses, as was the clear-cut case in Texas.  Some delegates are based on corrupt caucuses which deems them meaningless and illegitimate.

The only true count of the people's vote is the popular vote resulting from primaries.

For a further and colorful account of the inequity and outrage  listen to this brief audio on Windows Media Player.

The popular vote is important, especially in this race. Why? Because the flawed outcome of the caucuses have unfairly skewed the delegate count towards Obama. The press is silent on the issue of caucuses, but caucuses have determined the lead in the pledged delegate count for Obama and what has happened since then.

Caucuses disenfranchise Hillary's main voter base: older voters, working people who cannot take off from work to participate in lengthy caucus processes, and the many women who are pressured by the fact that their vote is public in a caucus. Primaries use secret ballots and absentee ballots for a reason. Obama's main voter base consists of the young, for example, college students, and the wealthy that can afford to take time off to participate in the lengthy caucus process.

To compare primary results to caucus results, look at the Map Room on the site election.msn.com, specifically the states of Washington and Texas. The outcome of the caucuses is skewed towards Obama. Now consider that Obama won the caucus states Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. Hillary won Nevada because the caucuses were held in the workplace in the cities, and people were given time off to vote. Obama won th e primary state Utah but the result was singular because Romney was on the ballot and won the vast majority of votes. Many delegates were awarded on the basis of low voting numbers in these states, making the skew towards Obama even more pronounced.

The Obama supporters that I have presented this argument to reply that Obama won the caucuses because of superior organization and that in itself is a reason that he should have the delegates, but I contend that it is not a matter of organization. I fell last year and broke a T5 vertebrae quite badly. I would not have been able to vote in the caucus in Texas because of the long lines and the cold night. Fortunately, I live in the great state of California and we have a primary, that Hillary won by 10%. And, yes, I am an older woman, part of Hillary's voter base.

I think everyone in this country should start investigating caucuses, exactly how they are run in each caucus state. For example, is the st ate of Washington trying to figure out what went wrong with their caucuses? At the Map Room on the site election.msn.com, compare their caucus result to their primary result. The caucus came first: Obama 68% and Hillary 31%. The primary was next: Obama 51% and Hillary 46%. Why would anyone bother to vote in the primary if they knew that their vote would not count towards winning delegates for their candidate? Voter confusion? I have informed the DNC and Governor Gregoire of Washington of this anamoly. No response.

On the flip side, I noticed that Maxine Waters is pledged to Hillary.  Naturally, her district went for Obama.
