I really don't get it. The party has a long pattern of putting the more unelectable person on top of the ticket. Lieberman(like him or not(I personally despise him) the man was more electable), Edwards(a good old boy populist would have probably won in 2004) and many of the potential picks for Obama(Bayh, Sebelius, etc)

*facepalm*

Well I never said my list was exhaustive did I?

I have to say you're unfortunately about right. Short of reforming the primary system to make it be completely staggered with no opportunity for instant victory/defeat no chance of fixing that. -_- Sad
