96. You say that, but you don't have a crystal ball, and now the courts will say...
I suppose you didn't see the appeals court ruling on taking children in Texas, or don't remember Bush vs. Gore in 2000. There are several lawsuits filed about the this. I only takes ONE crazy GOP judge to toss the whole process and there are a bunch of them out there.

What are the delegates going to do if a court orders a revote in August? Appeal to a wildly laughing Supreme Count and argue with Roberts? You'd really make their day!

And no matter who the Candidate is, it won't matter and everyone will forget it IF they can't win in November!

I've often referred to an old journal article called "Eelworms, Bulletholes, and Geraldine Ferraro". The wildest crowds and meetings were for Ferraro when she ran and many people thought that meant that she was going to WIN. Oops. They forgot the "nonignorable, nonrespondants". That means the voters who were not at the rally that represented the majority.

The key to this election in NOT those who are at the convention center. It has two parts: 1.) that the GOP can't steal the election again 2.) that the independents, crossovers, GOP soccer moms, retired veterans, Hispanics, conservative Christians, Jews for Buchanan, tree huggers, blue dawgs, etc. will register, show up, and vote! DU is NOT a representative sample of the winning majority. Making half the country mad by being arrogant and saying to hell with MI and FL might just put McCain and his VP (Jeb? Chain Gang Charlie Crist? ???) in office for 8 years!

I don't want to spent what's left of the country on attacking Iran next. Don't win the battle and lose the war. It's a bad strategy no matter who your favorite candidate is...
