Things that make you go hmmm.
With things like super-delegates and the electoral college, I wonder if we even need private citizens to cast votes?

Just wondering.

1. Yes, we do.
Delegates are chosen based on the number of individual votes cast for each candidate.

2. It's representative, usually superdelegates will go, for instance in the case of Boxer, for the...
