It seems like the process was a lot more "rigged" on them Democratic side than on the Republican side. On the Republican side, and group of zealots got together and launched Mike Huckabee in Iowa, the the remaining primaries eliminated him.
                   On the Democratic side, a group of zealots launched Obama, but the following contests were rigged as well, and he was in the driver's seat from that point forward.
                   The next time the Democrats do this, if their smart, they will set up their primary schedule to match the general election as closely as possible, i.e. winner take all contests, primaries instead of caucuses, and etc.
                   As an example, if Kentucky and West Virginia had been caucus states, Obama probably would have won them as well, and the press and the general public would have had no idea of the huge groundswell that was rising against him.
                   As it is, they've got another McGovern, Dukakis candidate who will certainly be swept away in the fall.
