Superdelagates
should the Superdelegates be allowed to try an influence the outcome before being seated at the convention and should the MSM be able to report unsubstaniated numbers?

Right now Obama is winning low turn out disenfranchising caucuses. He might start winning primaries, but until then, the networks are skewing the numbers in his favor by adding in undeclared superdelagates.
I happen to believe Hillary has a much better chance in the general election and I believe the conservative MSM is hedging their bet by trying to annoint Obama.

1. Anybody should "be allowed" to influence any political race
as is provided by the First Amendment.

if Superdelegates are allowed to decide the nomination. This would be a slap in the face of democracy, and one person - one vote must come of age.
