The superdelegates are not representing the will of the people. They are subverting the democratic process to get their chosen candidate on the ballot.

Exactly like you were all afraid of. But it's OK with all of you because all that matters is that your candidate is winning.

Obama's "change" and "new kind of politics" is the same old Chicago Democrat political machine - lie, cheat, steal, strongarm, etc.
2118 was the threshold to win the nomination. After he clinched he picked up a flood of supers in the last 48 hours.

Why am I explaining this to you? Don't you have your second cousin to take to her High School prom.
