The Democratic national convention is in August. At that time, we need to have a candidate. Typically we know who it is going to be. The candidate's people run the convention, and it is a boring show starring the candidate.
If we don't have a candidate, who decide who gets to speak? When? This might be fine in the days of smoke-filled rooms, but not any more with live television reporting. To some extent, it doesn't matter whether Senator Clinton or Senator Obama is the star. It just needs to be settled. Whichever of them wins, they must go into overdrive to defeat Senator McCain.
