11. This is true...

There is obviously some strategic advantage for helping other candidates to become viable.

Let's say that Obama needs 8 supporters to get 1 delegate. If Obama has 12, and Richardson
only has 7, the Obama camp may agree to send a supporter to Richardson to help him to that
15 percent threshold, so he can have at least one delegate, and be "viable."

It's too bad that Hillary ran such a dirty, closed-off campaign, because no one will be
helping her out, that is for sure.
