are super delegates really needed?
I don't see the need for super delegates. The people vote their choice. We do not need a group of delegates to override or justify our choice in any way. Its past time to eliminate the super delegate and electoral system. There should be a loud public outcry against these systems. I know who I want to vote for as I'm sure everyone else does.

These men chose to work in this mine. Mr Murray is an elderly man and he has reached the point of exhaustion yet he has been there through out the whole rescue /recovery operation.
4 AnswersOther - News & Events1 decade agodo you think the usa has a better understanding of why saddam ruled Iraq the way he did now?
The usa only opened iraq to more terrorists. they are coming out of the wood work now. When saddam reigned in Iraq his methods may have been harsh but it was no where near the blood bath it has become since the usa invaded the country. ok admittedly, saddam executed a lot of people perhaps, some of them was innocent but you have to respect the fact that he had three warring factions living in iraq. If he had allowed even one of those groups a little power it would have been as bad as it is now under the usa control.
9 AnswersOther - Politics & Government1 decade agoDo you think a prisoners right to vote should be automatically restored when sentence is completed?
How long are you expected to re-pay your debt to society? admittedly if you have did something that incurs fines etc. you should be made to pay and some crimes are so heinous that the rights should never be restored but how can you rehabilitate a prisoner, allow them to learn skills for a job and most companies will not hire them and there rights are not restored allowing them the right to vote in a so called free society. Many states do not restore these rights automatically (Florida being one of them) Georgia has a first time felon law whereas if its your first time in prison your record is sealed unless you commit more crimes. I'm interested in reading others views on this.
