Sanders hack who likes superdels reporting in.
I think letting the elected officials have a say in the ticket they're going to have to run under is fine.
We've just got a set of cowardly and myopic elected officials right now.
Chicken, even?
As others have said, it's irrelevant this cycle because Clinton will get the necessary number of pledged delegates. That said, superdelegates are good for the health of the parties. Without them, candidates like George McGovern (and/or Bernie Sanders) and Barry Goldwater (and/or Donald Trump) get nominated.
The way in which they are allocated is probably in need of reform. As Leader Pelosi has pointed out.
Not that superdelegates have ever actually decided a primary.
Uhhh, McGovern got nominated in a system that contained Supers.
Wrong, superdelegates were not introduced until after 1980 (see the Hunt Commission).
