I'm undecided here.

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.

The Rabble Rousers on the Left won’t be happy unless they get “their” way. Since there is a split, unless there is a “shared ticket”, someone is bound to be angry. No upset, angry.

The past 2 presidential elections have shown that they will take to the streets to disrupt any end to the counting.

It was a great tradition in this country that we had a peaceful change of power every election cycle. That ended with Terry McAwful’s Democrat party in 2000.
