Can you imagine the experience of the Super delegate?
If some trailblazing writer set out to interview the
Super delegates, about their experiences in the Democratic
primary--what a fascinating read that would be!

I'd buy that book, in a heartbeat.

Can you imagine? Can you imagine the tales they could tell
about the phone calls, the pleas, the begging, the backstabbing
and the attacks made against the other candidate?

I'm sure, what has gone on--behind the scenes has been mind-blowing.

Furthermore--Most Super delegates are seasoned, wise, experienced politicians
and leaders. They know the intricacies of DC politics. They live it. They
know who hates who and where the alliances are. They have had front-row seats
to the political soap opera that is Congress--and they understand where the
loyalties are and which Super delegates are political enemies with Clinton
and Obama.

Furthermore, the Super delegates know Obama and Clinton personally. They
work with them, and they know how they negotiate, operate and behave
on a daily basis. Again...can you imagine what they know and what they
have seen throughout the years?

The Super delegates also see how the candidates are conducting their campaigns. They
see the talking points that the candidates are putting forth. The Super delegates
clearly understand what is bunk, what is dishonest and what is manipulation.

They know.

Wouldn't it be fascinating....if we knew too?

1. They also know what their votes are worth, and I'm sure that has been taken into much consideration

I'd like to know all of the promises made and if they are kept once the elected are in office. I'd also like to figure out the money trail from campaign coffers to SD campaigns.

That, to me is the interesting part.
