ahhh, I have a question: If the super delegates should just give their votes to the one with the highest delegate count - then why have super delegates at all?

I hope to he*l the sheeple are watching all this typical Socialist chaos and ask themselves: "How could these people run the country? How would they react in time of an emergency?"

Good question. Notice the Republicans do not have super delegates, because they trust the voters. Even when the voters make a stupid choice like McCain.

The very purpose of super delegates is to act as a check on the voter's stupidity because the elite know best. It is a very Democrat concept, albeit not Democratic.

I can think of no group more deserving of a riot in Denver. They may get it even if Obama agrees to take second spot and plead for unity.

BTW, the last losing VP to get elected on a Democrat ticket was FDR. Who was the last sitting VP to win election as a Democrat?

There you go again, getting all rational.

The whole purpose of installing the superdelegate system was to be able to override the Rat rank and file when the politicos determined that they were going to take the party down the toilet---as in McGovern.

Truly, the superdelegates were created for just such a situation as exists today, in this race, between these candidates.

But there's no way politically the superdelegates can function as such. Not gonna happen. The only way I see them brokering a ticket is if they get Al Gore to come in and run with Obama, as Pres or VP, after pretending to offer it to Hildy and announcing that she turned it down. Of course, thereafter she'll witch and moan, but by that time, even the Rats will have come to understand that she's a pathological liar and no one will take her seriously. Plus the moonbats simply LUUUUUVVVVVV Al Gore. Once he's on the scene, everything else---including Her Thighness---will be quickly forgotten.
