People that cast ballots in primaries and caucus were not voters but more like shareholders in the
Dem Party. They were not voting in any State or Federal election. They were self proclaimed members of the Democratic Party(even just for day) and just stating their preference for the officers of our corporation.

Now the real voters will decide in Nov which corporation CEO they want to represent our country for the next 4 yrs.

If don't get it, we will not be there in Jan 09, just facing a major reorganization and purging of officers of our corporation for the next 4 yrs.

2. Useful analogy
If the Dem party is strong in your state, you pick a mainstreem candidate. If your state needs a change of direction, you go with someone to shake things up. The question now is who the proxy voters (SDs) think will improve the party's bottomline in the next "business" cycle.
