There were only 13 primaries and most delegates could pick whomever they wanted. There is no historical equivalent to what is happening now other than Obama is inspirational like Kennedy and Clinton is the establishment candidate like Humphrey. However, in terms of process the primary system back then and the one we have now are entirely difference.

So, is Hillary suggesting we go back to how primaries were held back in 1968. I can't for the life of me make any sense of her statement. However, I can't make much sense of her campaign either other than she tried a modified "Southern Strategy" once her fait accompli on Super Duper Tuesday didn't work.

Clinton apologists indeed.
