with fellow DNC members for super delegates than they do when at DNC meetings that are being recorded or have minutes to them? After just having a conversation about super delegates (yes, that's what we called them) one of my DNC members gave this interview:

Sandy Opstvedt, an Iowa super delegate backing Clinton, supports the idea of super delegates because before they existed, party leaders were under-represented in the nominating process.

"They weren't delegates because they didn't want to run against people that voted for them and deprive someone the opportunity to be a delegate," she said.

Opstvedt, however, reserved her right to switch allegiance.

"There are all kinds of hypotheticals that could happen," she said. "Right now my mind is made up."

Should I call her back and ask her WHY she talks about super delegates when, as a DNC member and supporter of Hillary Clinton, she should know that she should be referring to them as 'automatic' delegates? Or did she not call them 'automatic' delegates because she knew she was being recorded?

Why don't you just admit that they're called super delegates by everyone BUT the Hillary Clinton campaign and drop it?

You really are just digging yourself further into a hole.
