Superdelagates?
What the heck is this. I don't fully understand a Superdelegate but from what I have read, it's a bunch of crap. Even though a party leader may be better informed and may make a more educated decision, it's just not the way it works. Our system is our system and it sounds like the Superdelegate concept was devised and implemented at a time when party leaders felt that they needed to have more say in who the party nominee would be. The concept would allow certain party leaders to decide or override the decision of the people and influence the delegate votes. No way! Even though, unfortunately enough, the general public is not very well informed of the true person behind who they see on the TV. Even with that being said it is still the way our system works. Our responsibility then becomes trying to get as many people involved as we can. The solution is not to put the power of the decision in the hands of a few powerful people. Just my thought.
