Arbitrarily Tom

There is one interesting aspect of the Howrd Dean loss. It's nice to actually have an electoral race. Sorta gives the Democratic Convention a reason to exist. By the time they get to South Dakota's primary, another 5 months from now, there might still be a reason to vote. Front runners, landslides, 20 point leads, and "assumed" candidates just take the meaning out of the process when one candidate was supposed to have been "decided" by one or two states.
