Hopefully a nominee will result from the March 4th primaries and we can have a convention to ratify that selection. Apparently, the County Party is incapable of handling it any other way. I believe that part of the reason that delegates weren't chosen in some precincts was that the party was working so hard for Hillary that it sabotaged the process in precincts where Obama won.
