    Why don't you start by posting all these consequences you're talking about.

    Enlighten us.
    1968 Democratic National Convention

    The most contentious modern convention was the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. The party’s liberal, anti-war wing backed Eugene McCarthy, but delegates gave the nomination to Hubert Humphrey, who hadn’t won a single primary.

    How did people react?

    It was chaos. Anti-war activists staged massive protests outside the convention, which devolved into riots when police moved in with tear gas and batons. The debacle shamed the party, which then ins uted reforms to transfer power from insiders to grass-roots voters.

    You're right.
    But, Humphrey hadn't won a single primary.

    We haven't had an anti-war movement such as the one in '68.

    Obama's lead in delegates is a slim lead.
    He's no McCarthy.

    So, Democrats would not vote for Hillary?

    Is that what you're saying?

    After 8 years of George W. Bush, they'd back McCain because the Super Delegates backed Hillary?

    Interesting.

    But, both you and I know that will never happen.
    Or they could stay home or vote for a third party. Just ask Bush the 1st when he took for granted votes and Ross Perot ended up getting 19% of the vote.
