Personally: for me, hands-down it's been the incredibly convoluted delegate system that they set up, and are currently being savaged by. Always playtest your rules set, kids. Always. Playtest. ALWAYS. PLAYTEST. And then give it to somebody with the instruction "Break this."

But that's just me. What's been your special schadenfreude...ian joy, so far?

Watching their own disgusting race-baiting identity politics finally coming home to roost and tearing their party apart.

Special highlights:

- The desperate agony they're obviously going through deciding who is more important to elect, a Black or a Woman, while competing to should the loudest that that is not happening

- Hillary hiring people to swoon on cue after Barack's people did it

- The term "Obasm", and watching Chris Mathews have one

- A Black caller to Rush Limbaugh saying that he was not voting for Obama (just) because of Obama's race, but that he couldn't tell us how good it made him feel to vote for someone who looked like him

- The homogeneity of the crowd at Hillary's rallies: short haired, well-fed, women past 40 in pantsuits towing men on short leashes

would mean they have to think like conservatives, wouldn't it?

My favorite part of this is how there is no upside to this for the Dems. None! And then we point out that these clowns can't even pick a candidate, but they want to run the country?

Have you added to the population of the McCain 2008 minicity yet today?

I have a little list...

5) Seeing Dennis Kucinich on stage w/ his wife. Not too hard to figure out which one was the better two-thirds.

4) Hearing Senator Biden rhapsodize about Senator Obama's exemplary grooming habits.

3) Watching Va. Governor Tim Kaine pander to Barck even after Bill Clinton lobbied him otherwise.

2) Wondering if Michelle was still proud of America after the Ohio Primary.

1) Bill getting STOMPED OUT!! in SC. (Apologies to Michael Strahan of the New York Football Giants.)

Truly the best Dem primary ever.

But watching the result of hastily implementing a "let's make it equal and fair" system that really does neither is sinfully enjoyable....

Here I relate a joyous experience I had on TX primary day, March 4. The fun part was the Democrat "caucus after the primary".

I was the election judge for my precinct on the GOP side of the primary, and we operated in the same location as the Democrat primary. So I got a front-row seat to the festivities.

--First, there was massive confusion due to the fact that pre-election advertising referred frequently to "voting, then voting again" (in reference to the "caucus" activity after 7pm). A large number of people who had voted a week early came to "vote again" in the primary. Being Democrats, one can see why the confusion....
--Second, apparently the "caucus" thing is new to TX, or maybe it's just been a generation. At least 200 people showed up to the post-7pm activities. The people running the primary were responsible for all the "closing out" and submitting election returns to the election officials. Takes an hour, so they couldn't start till 8.
--When they got started, they realized, they'd been provided with almost no guidance or materials to use. The location was a school, and they needed to copy off a ton of copies of various forms and so forth - but alas, the school's copy machines were passworded and all school people were long gone.

So all across TX, the caucuses were just great big charlie-foxtrots, and since it was a virtual 50-50 election, the tensions between the Hillaries and Obamas were inflamed all out of proportion....

Ah, just GREAT fun.

than anything all those striking writers could have come up with on their best day. Haven't missed new episodes of TV shows at all due to the entertainment provided by our friends on the other side. Far as I'm concerned, it's our bonus for having to give up all of the candidates that so many of us vociferously supported on the Repub side.

It would be tough to pick a favorite moment--how can you pick Hillary's tears over Obama's lies--or vice versa? I hope this continues right up to the point when the Dem convention finally decides to opt for the "sudden death" option. Given the acrimony between these two candidates, however, that might be more than just a sports metaphor.

of the convention in my back yard. I'm in a burb so no chance of destruction, but I've already started hording popcorn and beer. Once all the petards are hoisted and the Supers have selected, watching the implosion of a political party truley dangerous to the Country will be enthralling. They say having only one strong party in a two party system is dangerous, but I'm willing to give it a try. DaveAt8000

Several items stand out:

1. Watching Hillary become mystified as a media enamored of The Senator from Illinois would not give her a break. No matter what she did, the media was critical. In short, she can now feel our pain because she knows first hand how a Republican is treated by the media.
2. Watching the DNC twist itself into a pretzel trying to disenfranchise the Democratic primary voters of Florida and Michigan. Is the irony not delicious? What's next, hanging chads?
3. Watching the party that started the year with every electoral advantage squander it. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Shooting themselves repeatedly in the foot. Who was it who said that the people who cannot select a candidate want to run our health care system? Genius... The campaign commercials write themselves.

So I lift a stein of day old green beer and toast our liberal rivals on this, the greatest ever, primary season. Let the shenanigans continue!
