Well, unless the DNC folds and gives in, in which case state after state will race to be "first" for 2012, and we will be holding the first primaries and caucuses in Summer, 2011.

In any event, Michigan recently came up with a compromise plan that would have given HIllary a 10 delegate advantage, yet she "rejected" it. Um, why does the outcome have to be "acceptable" to her. I don't get it.

2. I'll take that bet in a heartbeat.
Only in 2012 they won't be the only ones.

3. No serious contest in 2012 - Obama second term
This was the year they could have played with the big boys but screwed up completely. Too bad.

4. I think the rules will be overhauled to prevent this from happening again.
As this proved that the old ones are, and have been broken for a while.

5. I agree
I really think they will do better, but if they knew better they would have done better!
