The superdelegate system was instituted after the McGovern disaster, which demonstrated that "the people" haven't the faintest idea who's electable in a general election. The entire function of the superdelegates is to give the party poobahs the ability to override the "will of the people." It's reasonable to assume that they'll do their best to do just that.

Every answer they give to a question sounds like a 16 year-old kid standing in front of a clerk at a liquor store trying to remember the address and birthdate on his fake ID he just acquired from some smelly hippy from the wrong side of the tracks. I hope to God (whatever that is to you) that someone writes a period piece on the democratic controled house and calls it "Lessons in Stupid - the Pelosi years" I swear to God (whatever that is to you) the little tax deductions on "Kid Nation" accomplished more than the gaggle of over educated rich liberals of the democratic party did last year. Democrats are the answer... to the question "What's that floating in the toilet?" Somebody had corn last night And we wonder why democrats can’t get a damn thing done.
