on the people AND checks and balances on government. Otherwise, it is inevitable that we will end up like so many, many countries, getting behind a candidate who turns this country into an authoritarian regime. People in other countries in which this has happened were not stupid, or different from us. They were just under the influence of a profound cultural phenomenon-- we have a biased media in this country now, and a populace ready to make just about anything into a football contest, with very little willingness to dig deeply on their own. This is not to say the superdelegates couldn't all lose their minds, but as long as both systems are working, it makes it less likely.
