How quaint. A really dumb system, but I will admit that for many years the most fun I ever had voting was in 1984, the one time (in my voting years) that California had such a system. I split amongst Hart, Jackson, and McGovern (the latter just because I had been too young in 1972).<BR/><BR/>Recently I read some pundit suggesting that Obama was marrying the Hart and Jackson wings of the party, while Clinton has the Mondale wing. I guess you can tell from the above how I feel about the Mondale wing. I actually think Obama is the most exciting Democratic candidate since McGovern (even though they have not that much in common), with the important distinction that Obama might actually become President.<BR/><BR/>I would have shared your strategy of voting for Edwards for the delegates, except that once a candidate is officially out, usually his support collapses. And Edwards's support certainly collapsed quickly.<BR/><BR/>So I voted for Obama. And that was much more fun than that 1984 split vote against the Mondale wing--it was downright exciting, in fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
