the whole super delegate thing is, imho not very democratic....jackson, hart other dem notables all fought it tooth and nail....


and now I am treated to listening to the granddaughter of Eisenhower telling us how she loves obama..reading her article I have so say, after 20 eyars in DC shes remarkably niave.
I've never been a great fan of the idea either. I am the "one person, one vote with political leaders and party delegates being honor- bound to vote the way their constituents want them to vote" kind of guy, you know.
