As of today, the Democratic Delegates scorecard looks like this:
Clinton 1268
Obama 1361
Needed to win: 2,025
This race is damn close. And the fact that the candidate might be decided by 796 superdelegates - the privileged few, who NONE of US voted for - is leaving a nasty, bitter taste in my mouth.
One superdelegate said, "if 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this." That was Donna Brazile, who has worked on several Democratic presidential campaigns. Word, Donna.
The only way is for superdelegates to go with the popular vote. Barbara Boxer promised to give her vote to whoever her constituents chose. You other 795 superdelegates, you should do the same. Otherwise, you'd be undermining the votes of millions. And you better believe the Democratic Party would have some serious explaining to do.
