Just who is/was the architect of the “Super Delegate” charade? That’s real big cronie bull$hit pill to have to swallow if I were a registered democrat voter.
Walter Mondull.
I dunno blackdog, the system has its merits. If we had something similar it might have stoped the mess we are in. Instead of having open primaries and all our delegates being pladged that way we would have a list of officials and congressmen and mayors etc that we could hold to the fire and say “YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT A CONSERVATIVE” and then they could have pushed whomever over the edge. Instead we are stuck after super tuesday with McCain as the mathmatical nominee and the only way to move forward is to sabatoge him and therefore ensure a dem presidency or roll with it and watch the party move center left. With these super delegates the DNC and the base of the party is never going to let the Democratic party shift center right.
