Re: Democrat nominee decided by super delegates?
I think the electoral college is sufficient, as a system for electing a president. However, I don't see the same as true of the superdelegates. the ENTIRE point of citizens voting is to have them decide who will be the nominee. to have a THIRD of the delegates requried (800ish/2000ish) able to vote independently of any other considerations is ridiculous.
I think, 1. if hillary wins by the superdelegate vote, she will almost certainly lose in the general, because it will seriously piss off a lot of dems and independents (and heck, people don't like her to start out with - already, i will NEVER vote for her). and 2. we should take a good, long look at our primary system before the next elections.

And let's not forget the super delegates in florida and....michigan...or is it minnesota? "disqualified" by the UNELECTED democratic national committee because the states VOTED to move up their primaries.
I wonder if their super delgates still count...but the voted delegates don't. Now that's a shit storm waiting to happen.
dammit florida.....stop fucking up elections.
