Wish they would STOP including the superdelegates... SPIN SPIN SPIN

A fair count is all I want for Gods sake! Fuck the superdelegates. They are fluid and are to be used later, NOT NOW!!!!

1. Exactly Patmcccc.

As you say, they are fluid.

2. The superdelegate thing is an outrage. Totally undemocratic. As Randi...

As Randi Rhodes says it's probably best America gets to see what superdelegates are so they will demand the nonsense stops. The people either elect or don't elect, clearly most fair minded people will find this wrong as they did with couting in 2000.

3. If the pledged delegates, representing the Democratic voters,

favor one, but the superdelegates throw it to the other, how is Joe Sixpack Democrat going to take it?

Another HUGE defection to the Independents, who already outnumber either Democrats or Republicans, and may soon outnumber both together.

4. Will Obama want to change the rules after the fact?

Wow, imagine that. Isn't that what Hillary has been accused of?

To answer your question, I'm sure Obama voters will feel they've been disenfranchised. Just like the voters in FL and MI, none of whom had anything to do with their state breaking the DNC agreement on primary dates.

The Democratic Party has always stood for inclusiveness of all the voters. I can understand not counting the superdelegates, but not if they don't count the FL/MI delegates too.
