Can this being drawn out to the convention be a good thing?

While the republicans lose air time with their campaigning being essentially over we have to stay fresh and the media will keep covering democrats. I know that we'll have to continue to spend down our war chests but more exposure for us could be a good thing.

Any thoughts?

1. I think so

it makes all the democrats in all the states feel like their vote matters more

Other years....the nominee is selected before for example Pennsylvania votes.
The entire primary system is horrible.

5. Yes, its a good thing....peeps will soon the Real diff between the Pubs and Dems

Dems do good for the Nation by building, forging ahead with advancement

Puba are whiners and DESTROYERs...they destroys dreams and lives with their crappy style of leadership

For that and more reasons, I'm kinda pleased that it's still up in the air.

diffidently,

6. When I was young it always went to the convention

and we waited watching and wondering which state would decide it. Great TV. Great history. And we drank lots of lemonade and cola since it was always so effing hot and we didn't have a/c. Would it be Kennedy? Would it be Stevenson? Or Johnson or Humphrey? We had no clue. And if we have no clue now that's OK since Dems have survived this before. It would have gone to the convention in 1968 too if RFK hadn't been murdered.
