We have a two-person race for the Democratic nomination.

Easy peasey. People will vote in their state's primary events as the primary season continues. There will be a clear winner. It's a two person race. When there is a winner, we'll have a Democratic nominee. Simple. It's not like the Republican clown car system at all. We're way smarter than that. Two candidates means a clear, clean victory for one of them.

Both candidates will continue to campaign and try to win more votes than the other candidate. This year, it's really easy to watch the results as they happen, without any interpretation. My state's caucuses are over. Now, I'm watching the rest of the states hold theirs.

Following each primary date, I go to this link:

http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/D

There, I find updated popular vote numbers, the latest pledged delegate count and even what's happening with unpledge superdelegates. The results are known almost immediately after the election results are known.

I don't have to rely on biased news media for information. It's all right there for everyone to see. I like that. It's transparent and objective. I can even go look at individual states to find details on results and how that state allocates its delegates.

The Internet is amazing!

I also feel you should back off your common sense and non-offensive approach to how you view and write about the primaries. I find it to be disturbing.

There must be something in my genetic makeup that forces me to look at things objectively. Damned genetics!
