Oh, To Be A Superdelegate!

I feel like this must be what the entrance tunnel to the bat cave-like hangout of America's superdelegates must look like. What an elite club in American politics! It may sound funny, but in this election cycle, we will indeed see the massive import of the public opinion swaying superdelegates. Right now Senator Barrack Obama leads Senator Hillary Clinton in total delegates, but ah ah ah, wait just one minute, that does not take into consideration the superdelegate count which could tip things in favor of the New York senator. Senator Obama has 964 regular old delegates on his side to Hillary's 905. While the superdelegates who have pledged support weigh in Hillary's favor by around 100 votes as of now, there are over 700 superdelegates who have remained undeclared. It will indeed be a contentious battle to the end. Leave a comment and let us know what you think the role of the superdelegate adds/ takes away from the role played by the individual voter. Is it fair that these select individuals from the political sphere should shape a party's nomination in such a monumental fashion? Wax Politic!
