3. Wow -- all 38 of NY's supers are for Hillary
Didn't SOME people in that state vote for Obama? Since when should all the supers be going to one candidate?

7. There are several possibilities:
1. All the super delegates already endorsed Clinton before the primary and are staying loyal.

2. The super delegates are afraid of pay-back if they don't endorse CLinton.

3. If Clinton leaves the Senate for the White House, it opens up the Senate seat and we have a lot of ambitious people in this state. It'd be a real round of musical chairs.

8. Excellent. Thanks.
That's what we need. Demystify this superdelegate nonsense. Give me names! I want to know who may be pulling the levers.

vote.

And that's just inside the convention hall. God only knows what'll happen in the streets outside.

I hope the Party elders remember the scene in Chicago '68, and the consequences that followed.
