Anyone else enjoying the vitriol between McCain and Mittens over WV?

[brooklynite]

They're talking about "dirty tricks" and "Washington Back Room Deals", without complaining about the West Virginian Republican who cooked up this voting system in the first place.

1. What a contrast

This isn't the only state where the Republican process is noticeably less democratic than the Democratic method. They don't trust the people.

3. If I were a WV Repub, I'd be a little pissed. Their votes mean absolutely nothing, it's all a game.

5. What's the difference?

I live in NY. The parties don't, so far as I know, have different kinds of primaries here. What do they do in WVa? (I don't think I was ever really aware of how much variation there is state to state.)

[Graybeard]

6. I've heard that WVa is not a primary or a caucus on the Rep side...

...but that it is a convention. Who meets at this convention? Sounds like real "ole timey" back room politics.

4. Reminds me of a great quote by William Bolitho

“It is when pirates count their booty that they become mere thieves.”

Sounds apt to me...
