112. "don't take a weather man"
But you are a good one;) Sure does and it favors money, "The Money Party," - who has the most money earliest gets the big boost and shoots over the top. In addition to encouraging turnout by doing this in very bad weather, they're helping push big money donations early to have a say in who wins. Then we're stuck with whomever whored around enough to get the money to win. Great system.

The one thing they didn't want was a Florida wild card. The January primary in Florida gives them headaches. They're afraid enough for Dean to have offered some real incentives for Florida Democrats to back out of it. The deal was done at the end of the legislative season by Republicans but there were key Democrats going along with it. Now the Florida Democratic Party, a disaster area, is back peddling for "caucuses" and wants to turn the primary votes into nothing when it comes to delegates. It's either that or DNC won't seat a full delegation, excluding those chosen through the primary.

Democracy on the march!
