In keeping with true Democratic Party tradition, the lowly voter cannot be

The super delegates were developed for just that, to make sure the DNC
did not lose control of the candidates.. Remember, that party believes
in haveing a few "smarter" folks decide things for the rest of us, the
whole "nanny state" thing. Not saying it's a bad thing, although I
think it is, just the was the democrats believe in running things..
As to the split delegates that was done I think right after 84 because
Jessi Jackson was loosing states by small margins but still taking no
delegates to the convension. For good or bad I don't know.. But that
is how I understand the split delegates thing as far as the dems are
concerened...
