“Nobody cares about YOUR count, my hyperpartisan whatever …”
It is just as valid as any other count. Remember NOBODY has ANY delegates yet. NO delegates have been ‘seated’ by the RBC.
Mr. Bradley, do you have the slightest clue as to what happens during the Democratic nomination process?
Here is the rule book. Educate yourself;
There it is, the complete rule book in a pdf. format. Read it and weep. You will find that I’m not making this up as I go along. I leave that to Ohhhh….BAMA.
I would bet that less then 10% of democrats know what is in that Rule and Bylaws manual.
“Section 10. The Democratic Party shall not require a delegate to a Party convention or caucus to cast a vote contrary to his or her expressed preference”
“Section 3. Delegates to the National Convention shall be allocated in the Call to the Convention
consistent with the Charter.” (aka, seated)
The section on challenges is to long to cut and paste here. Technically, there are no delegates until the call to convention. That act creates the delegates, some of which are ‘pledged’ some of which are not (super).
The current trend in nice neat Conventions is a product of Television and TV producer’s anal-retentiveness. The producers want everything to run smooth so they can stay in control. It wasn’t always like that;

FDR’s first term was the result of a brokered convention.
we will see a LOT more of them in the future.
That is because the internet has relaxed the grip of the MSM on the convention and the ratings from the ’08 democratic convention will be thru the roof. They will make O.J. and his Bronco look like Hockey re-runs.
As a conservative, I’m more concerned about the bounce the Donks will get from having 75% of the planet Earth watching the convention then any actions on the part of 3 mediocre candidates.
Modern communications mean anyone on this planet can watch. Most of them will be interested.
When POTUS farts, people in Lusaka know what he had for lunch. There are a lot of net savy 3rd worlders that feel they should have a say in who the American President is. I tell them, ‘get in line’.
