They let us vote to make us feel like we have a say in it. But some of us are smart enough to figure out that we don't have a say in anything anymore.

I am not sure what you mean by "American people". Republicans don't have Super Delegates. It is something unique to the Democrat Party and I believe has only been around since about 1981. Do not look for the DNC to change it because to do so would be to admit they made a mistake. But after Barry gets clown stomped in November, maybe the Democrats will howl loud enough to get Howard Dean and the rest of the DNC replaced and get some people in there who know how to guide the party to the White House without having to manipulate the vote.

This has never happened before - ever. It isn't left up to Superdelegates, it is the responsibility of every person out there to get informed and vote conscienciously - not for who some celebrity endorses. It's not like ALL superdelegates go to some meeting and decide whom they will support - they are voters taxed with the responsibility of breaking the tie - unfortunately they are being wined and dined by lobbyists, campaign sponsors and of course Chelsea Clinton. I believe the Superdelegate thing would work better if they were kept anonymous. That would eliminate outside influence for the wrong reasons and make these important voters study the issues a little more and vote with their brains, not their wallet.

It is not "lefted (sic) up to the super deligates (sic)".
The super-delegates each get one vote. The only reason they are said to be making the decision is that neither Clinton nor Obama has 50% of the pledged delegates, and the super-delegate vote actually matters, for the first time in history.

The American people are making it known right now that they don't want him and I believe they are going to change the super's conditions upon the end of this race for Democrats.
I think there are enough people pretty fed up that the candidate with the most votes from the people is being ignored by the supers...... I believe money has played a big part in that.

Good question. If Obama was so interested in change why doesn't he change the obvious unfairness that this fact presents for his own party. Why does he have to wait for the presidency to make a difference?

The Super delegates are representative of the people.
Obama won despite the attempts at racism and fear. Hillary is mad and so are her supporters.
They are willing to give their grandkids over to McCain's wars for spite. Shame on them.

This is NOT new, this is how our elections have been run - don't hate on the players - work to change the rules - and educate yourself so you can better understand how this process works.

Hundreds of millions have been spent on the primary
process and it was all for naught!
