Not for Democrats. Usually.

Republicans are generally "rule oriented." Democrats are generally
"goal oriented."

Republicans tend to accept the end if it follows the stated rules,
Democrats tend to adjust the rules to accomplish the desired results.

Right. Just consider their 'super delegates' who can overrule
whatever the voters decide. Why have primaries at all if they don't
count?


Because of the "Madness of Crowds." The Super-Delegate business was put in
to temper the frenzy of the easily excited electorate following Gene
McCarthy's nomination. It was thought that seasoned professionals - cooler
heads, if you will - could prevail.

Obama, for example, maintains that the Super Delegates should follow the
will of their home states. But when Clinton won West Virginia 65-35%, Obama
didn't decline the support of Harry Byrd.

Which brings up another interesting idea: A Klansman supporting a Negro. Is
this a great country or what?
