One thing you should know before discussing the primary process, there are new rules for how delegates are to be awarded.

					<description><![CDATA[A few comments, largely from a Minnesota perspective, on this remarkable event. The Democratic Party, at the national level, has made some big changes. They have gotten rid of super delegates, and they are setting out guidelines for state parties to make their caucus system, when they have one, more &#8220;democratic.&#8221; Some of this is &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2018/08/25/democrats-get-rid-of-superdelegates/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Democrats Get Rid Of Superdelegates</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[First, a little clarification on the &#8220;Light Brigade.&#8221; This term originally referred to a British military unit of light (as in not heavy) cavalry that engaged with the Russians (the enemy in this story) during the Crimean War, in October, 1854.
