Should Hillary supporters also not support super delegate who refuse to back the winner of the popular vote?

I say that if the super delegates refuse to do their job and support the winner of the popular vote, Hillary supporters should refuse to support them in their congressional runs. It is becoming very apparent that the supposed democratic party is not democratic by refusing to count all the votes and thereby overturning the will of the people.

Update:

Those of you who see that the super delegates are not following the will of the people, please spread the word throughout the blogosphere, and write to your representatives. Let them know that they will pay at the polls for their actions.

Update 2:

So as Obama's ship continues to sink, and his chance of winning the general fade, the super delegates should switch back to Hillary.

    I agree.

    What's so hard about running the Democratic Party like a DEMOCRACY?

    What I don't understand is why people give money and support and votes to a party that doesn't give a rat's behind how they think or vote.

    Super delegates are responsible to vote however they believe is in the best interest of the Party. Sadly I think that many may vote based on what they think is best for them personally.

    That said, yes, I plan to consider how who a Super Delegate is supporting in the nomination when I am making a decision if or how to support them in their elections. This is not spite - I consider it a valid demonstration of how well aligned they are with my values, and of their judgement.

    Look at John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, Massachusetts overwhelmingly supports Clinton and these 2 cast their superdelegate vote for Obama. Vote them out if they don't represent the will of the people who elected them.

    A lot of congresspeople are casting their superdelegate votes on the basis of their district vote. The problem for Hillary is that she can't just have Clinton district voters voting for her. She needs Obama district supers as well.

    Wouldn't a congressman from an Obama district be more afraid of Obama voters defecting than Clinton voters?

    Democrats need to support whoever the Democratic Nominee is whether its Hillary or Obama.

    Keep the Democratic Party united not divided.

    We must do this or suffer the consequences with a 3rd George Bush term with Mccain.

    I think you will see a mass exodus from the undemocratic, democratic party.
