If they overrode the primary voters it might well be to choose Frau Clinton, which would be the best possible outcome since it would unleash a Green Wave in the actual election and put an end to the Demoncrudic gang. More likely, the result would be a compromise ticket with Al Gore running as the "Green" Demoncrud and finally taking the office to which he had been elected sixteen years earlier.
