They said she was inevitable

So, now you know why. Super delegates. Were you under the impression that it was a figure of speech rather than a fact to be dealt with? It has been part of her campaign strategy from the beginning. It should have been part of Obama's too. Why are you now chastizing her for playing the game correctly? It's not stealing anything, it's procuring the needed delegates for nomination. All this talk of revolting and rioting if she wins by super delegates is ridiculous. It is apparent at this juncture that whoever becomes the nominee will do so via the super delegates. It's just a matter of who they vote for. It is now in their hands, like it or not. This is the way it is done. It is not illegal or immoral, it is not cheating, it is not backdooring. It is the process by which all candidates pledged to adhere to.


The supers decide. Who will it be? We can only wait and see.

Have a nice day!

2. I think that you will see the majority of SuperDeligates vote in the same way...

that the general voters have voted. They have a lot on the line to go against what the general populace wants to happen and they know it.

3. 25 years later Mondale is still criticised for using the same strategy

He lost in the biggest landslide in history that year.

Im glad to see Hillary is following in the footsteps of past success.

4. This is why they created Super Delegates.

Just in case the National Party did not agree with our decision from primaries and caucuses. They will decide who has the best chance to win against the Republican nominee. Our votes only account for a portion of the decision and we will have to abide by it. For people to scream that they are going to revolt, etc. especially if Obama does not win, is ridiculous. You are right that it is not stealing. For goodness sake, I sure do wish people would read the rules before they invest so much in the game. It is not our decision. It is a similar philosophy to the electoral college. Since we can not be trusted with this big a decision, they will have to be able to make it for us if they disagree.
