Default Re: US presidential nominee selection

I theorize it exists for me and people like me. See, after a month of Super Bowl malarkey, which does nothing for me and many other people, I think the Powers That Be decided that *we* need a show, too. And what a show! Teams, MVPs, fumbles, but very few tight ends.

Anyway, all joking aside, I have no idea why it's this way. Quite frankly, the things like the Republican winner-take-all-but-Democrats-split thing, deadlines as to when people can vote, party registrations, electronic voting machines, delegates, the ELECTORAL COLLEGE... It all seems a bit... undemocratic. Doesn't it?
