Poll question: What happens if 1 candidate ends up winning pledged delegates while the other wins the popular vote? |

What if after the primaries & caucus are finished and pledged delegates are assigned, one candidate has a slight lead in pledged delegates but the other candidate ends up with a slight lead in popular vote.
How should that be approached in the interest of democracy?
Should the Superdelegates......

1. I don't think that would happen |

1. The super delegates are politicians and will wish be be on the winning side. Many of then hold off on endorsing until the end, so they endorse the winning candidate.
2. While many are on Hillary's camp, many more will join Obama, especially if he keeps winning.
3. The whole super-delegate "problem" is a fabrication of the M$M to further fracture the Democratic party. Watch as it becomes a non-issue as the primaries continue.
