Thread: Super Delegates?

I was listening to Mark Simone filling in for Mark Levine and I heard him make a VERY STUPID comment.
He was talking about the ELITIST Super Delegates, and how they over rule the regular Delegates to BEST help themselves in the Party. One caller came on and said the Elitist in the Republican Party do the same thing...Simone comes back and says "do you mean these people in the Republican Party DO NOT have First Ammendment Rights?"
Now I am not the Brightest bulb on the tree, I'll be the FIRST to admit that...BUT, doesnt that statement sound DUMB?
I mean dont the ELITES from BOTH PARTYS decide who runs, who wins?
McCain/Feigngold...DID THAT NOT TAKE 1st AMMENDMENT RIGHTS?

I think the contention is that the democrats have assigned more superdelegates than the republicans have. On the democrat side..there is concern that the superdelegates can swing the nomination to hillary over obama. Not so on the republican side.

The contention is that Obama can win all the primaries and
still lose to Hillary because of the Supers

Do the Repubs even have supers?

That is what I just said. Yes, the republican party has superdelegates but not as many as the democrat side.
