Wth is a super-delegate?
A delegate that is appointed to make sure we don't put a crazy in office. Goes back to the 1968 primary. George McGovern spearheaded its creation. Just the democrates have them.
It all reality, the primaries are set up not for the common person to really have any say in. The delegates do most of the decission making at the primary level. But popular vote can swing a super delegate.
If you really want to know about our electoral process and its history, friend a guy named Duncan Wade Huffman on FB, (also known as Grumpy Coyote) and read his posts. I've learned more from him this year than I ever learned in high school government.
