…and if Dennis Kucinich, John Edwards and Bill Richardson had NOT been on the ballot in California AFTER they dropped-out, Obama would have easily won the state. He would have been the beneficiary of all of the votes that went to the guys who were no longer in the race. Clinton only won CA by default.

This ol' geezer also voted for Clinton. I too became increasingly disappointed with the tone of Clinton's campaign. I believe they are both great candidates but I became concerned in the choices Clinton made in her staff and strategy and whether such mistakes (in my opinion) would carry over into her presidency.

More to your point, I think the Super-duper Tuesday experience in California serves a valuable lesson in the flawed concept of running with the pack. California should break from the pack and slide the next presidential primary back toward the original date.
