One of the few times I ever rooted for Ted!
While the superdelegate system is grossly unfair, and perpetuates the "party-boss" influence peddlers, it has the potential to tear the party apart.
If O'bama has most of the elected delegates, but Hillary gets the Michigan/Florida delegates and especially the superdelegates to put her over the top, a lot of folks will be very unhappy, and the whole Dem convention would go up in flames.
Part of me thinks that would be a good thing.
Most of me doesn't.
Pwah, he's torn alright! Poor Bill, what should he do? If he goes with Kennedy, ensuring power and perks, he might not stick around long enough to enjoy it.
So, no sooner the race starts and Richardson drops out. He lost before he started. He's a loser, big time!
Why would anyone in their right mind seek the endorsement of a Loser.
Would a sane person go to a bank, ask for a loan and provide a homeless derelict as an astute financial reference? No wonder our politics/politicians are all screwed up ;-)
