Superdelegates should weigh human vote totals of DEMOCRATIC voters more than anything else
Including Florida voters.

That's how the Democratic nominee should be determined.

My guess is that Obamaniacs would argue against Democratic voters determining the democratic nominee.

1. They have a book of rules on the procedure, most ethical
SD's would vote the established delegate count out of their state.

2. SD aren't bound to anything. They should select the candidate winning the most Democratic votes.

3. Wrong primary, that method would only apply to the Repug primary, which was winner take all. If
you noticed the dems did not use that method. Why don't you start a thread with some substance and stop with this nonsense.

5. intellectually dishonest framing.
florida and michigan disobeyed the DNC, its a matter between the DNC and those states. Ultimately at the convention, the seated delegates will vote and decide.

stop trying to frame it as one candidate disenfranchising the voters, they have their state party to blame, no one else.

6. Since the issue WILL be debated to do anything but count the vote as is would be disenfranchisement
The voters didn't make the rules

8. but you're trying to pin this on Obama, who had nothing to do with it.
and your own candiate, if any candidate, is the only trying to exploit the situation to their own political advantage, and you know that. That's why I'm saying you're intellectually dishonest.

9. If Obama attempts to say SD's should weigh only "delegates" instead of "Democratic voters"
that will be troubling

10. Your problem is with the rules of the DNC
and how they are enforced. Your fantasy of crimes Obama has not yet committed is just paranoia and inaccurate.
