Reply #22: This is nonsense [View All]

This broken-record repetition by certain DU posters of supposed "threats" always ends up pointing to news links that merely report 2nd and 3rd-hand hearsay about such and essentially resulting in no production of proof.

Does this mean that constituents or fellow officer-holders aren't arguing or debating with supers regarding which way the super might vote? Of course not.

But Bradley describes a realistic scenario where should a congressional district (or other constituency) overwhelmingly vote for one candidate and the elected super chooses another, then that super IS subject to a review by their constituents. In essence, just because a super defies the people's will doesn't mean they must be booted out. But it also means that the RISK exists that they might be. Kerry and Kennedy have that risk just as Fast Eddie Rendell and Mixmaster Mike have that risk here in PA in the opposite sense. It's all up to the mood of the people in that constituency and whether they feel it has some rank of importance to their lives.
