Reply #5: It's SOP...and smart politics [View All]

we're stuck with the system we have, unfortunately. And a candidate who can raise funds and use those funds to help elect and re-elect other Democrats has something to point to to say 'hey, look, it's not just about me. I'm working for the good of the party to ensure a greater Democratic majority in the future.' And I don't think that the superdelegates should or do feel obligated to support a specific candidate on that basis; they should and almost certainly will support the best interests of the party as a whole, taking into consideration the general election and the expressed will of a majority of Democratic voters.
