...doubt, many of the criticism of the present nomination system have their merits. On the surface, it seems illogical for such a small population--about 220,000 participating voters in a state with 3 million residents--so apparently unrepresentative of the national constituency--to have such a large impact on the nominating process.

Only one of every 1,000 high school football players ever makes it to the pros -- hardly good odds, as the Greek might put it. Those searching for a better life would be well advised to pour the energy...
