The Democratic Change Commission, a body set up by the Democratic National Committee, is meeting in Washington, D.C., this weekend to continue discussing how to improve the party’s procedures for choosing a presidential candidate. See this story. Mark Brewer of the Michigan Democratic Party continues to be the leader of those who disagree with the idea that any particular state should continue to have a permanent privileged position on the calendar.
I seem to recall that the Democrat Party uses proportional representation for the primaries. Is this true Richard, and if so, is anybody on the DCC arguing for expanding it to replace the “Superdelegates”?
I think the proportional idea is well-established in the Democratic Party, and no one seems to be talking about changing that aspect of the rules, as far as I know.
Abolish the time bomb Electoral College — along with ALL of the party hack machinations for Prez nominations.
See the EVIL INSANE Donkey party hack MORONS in Michigan in 2007-2008 causing CHAOS – esp. the EVIL M.B.

Uniform definition of Elector-Voter in ALL of the U.S.A.
P.R. and nonpartisan A.V.

Abolish the EVIL minority rule U.S.A. Senate.
Abolish the EVIL minority rule Prez Veto – a vestige of the EVIL kings in the DARK AGE — to increase separation of powers and END the EVIL power madness in each Prez since 1932.
REAL *change* — to get rid of the super dangerous timebomb JUNK in the Constitution — due to EVIL compromises in the top secret 1787 Federal Convention by the then elitists.
Note the 10 of 16 election related amdts in Amdts 11 to 26.
Mother Earth always belongs to the living and NOT the DEAD — who made EVIL *deals* in the past.
Let’s hope that they stop knuckling under to Iowa and New Hampshire.
