Well, consider the new face of insider trading: John Freeman, a 34-year-old temp who, with 18 partners, was allegedly able to leverage a bunch of discarded faxes and other office detritus into $8.4 million in ill-gotten gains - all through the Web.

But after Tuesday night, barring a howling scandal or a bus accident, this fair-mindedness simply becomes foolish titillation. The front-loading of the primary system, which squeezes a decisive bunch of primaries into February and early March, plus the dominance of television ads purchased by big money, has turned the stately nomination process into a half-wrought runt of its former self...
