Did Hillary really lose? Or did we?

Is our delegate system working? We learned in 2000 that it does not matter how much of the popular vote you get, delegates got to choose the next president. You could same thing about the Democratic primaries. Hillary received more of the popular vote, and only if you include the caucuses does Obama win. Yeah there was that Michigan and Florida thing (I think we should not let Florida participate in any elections) but even if you wipe out those states Hillary still had more of the vote. So were the primaries fair? Not in my eyes. Yes I preferred Hillary over Obama, and IÂ wanted her to ask him to be her running mate. Don’t get me wrong, I support Obama now that he is the nominee, but I just have this feeling that we don’t count as voters anymore and the delegates act like they know better then us. Really, how did that GW thing work out? I think it is time to ditch the delegate and caucus systems, they suck.
