Reply #10: Don't count superdelegates [View All]

[citizennyc]

I hear a lot of talk about how the Superdelegates might help Hillary get the nomination... but if Obama gets the majority of regular delegates (even a slim majority), it won't happen. Whether they personally support Hillary or not, as party officials they want one thing above all -- for the Democrats to retake the White House and to retain control of Congress. The one way to assuredly scuttle that chance is to reverse the democratically chosen winner of the primaries. Obama supporters will revolt and refuse to support Hillary in the general election, handing the election to the Republicans.
