I wish people would stop criticizing superdelegates so much. People keep saying that Obama has won more states, won more votes, won more pledged delegates. That all may be so, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he should win. Sometimes, we may need the party leaders to save us from ourselves. We’d better face facts. Not so long ago, there were no primaries and all nominees were selected by party big wigs (now called superdelegates) in the proverbial smoke filled rooms. Sure, not all choices were great, but some of our best Presidents were selected this way. I’m all for the democratic process, the will of the voters, and all that, but if that alone were enough, why have superdelegates at all?
