Just reading that article on "super delegates" now I have to smoke too.. Says something to the effect of.. The people can vote for a democratic candidate, and give favor to one or the other, however when our votes are in, the "Super delegates" get to vote, and they are NOT bound by the voters in which way they vote. Even though they are elected officials, if their entire district votes for Obama, they can put their delegate vote in for Clinton, screwing the voters of the state.
We have such a wonderful way of making our democracy look legitimate, until you get into the details, then it's obvious it was setup to make sure people in power can do what they want, without the will of the people.
