Today, with the possibility that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will end up with about the same number of delegates after all 50 states have held their primaries and caucuses, the pundits and many others are saying that superdelegates should not decide who the nominee will be. That decision, they say, should rest with the rank-and-file Democrats who went to the polls and voted.
But the superdelegates were created to lead, not to follow. They were, and are, expected to determine what is best for our party and best for the country.

Yet another Democrat opposed to too much democracy.
Or, by seating the Michigan and Florida delegates, and then selecting the nominee in a smoke-filled backroom, the Clinton sleaze factor can be enabled for four more years.

I believe that this is shaping up to be a very good scenario for McCain.
If Hillary steals the nimination, the blacks and youth will be too outraged to vote at all, let alone for her.
If Obama wins the nomination, it was Hillary that introduced the muslim issue, and McCain can then follow-up on it. Plus, he is the most liberal radical senator in the country. People will get that message at the proper time.
I like the way this is playing out.
True, I don't like McCain all that much, in fact, not much at all, but the best choice by far compared to the other two.
