Spence - hopefully you know that's not why the democrat party has super delegates.
They exist to prevent democrat voters from being able to elect a candidate who does not agree with the party line. The system was implimented after the George McGovern disaster when the democrat nominee had no chance of winning the national election. Let me repeat that - the system was created by the democrat leadership specifically to take the power away from the people.
40% of the delegate votes needed to win the primary are held by these super delegates. Also, if one of these super delegates steps out of line, or falls out of favor, they can have their status removed. This recently happened to Joe Lieberman.
The people have a much greater say in the Republican primaries.
I can't say I really disagree with Larry about the motivation of politicians. If you want to vote for who you like the most, vote for who you hate the least.
