Obama Picks up 9 Superdelegates, Union Endorsement
I’m thrilled about Obama’s inevitable nomination. But, I continue to feel that having superdelegates who aren’t accountable to voters is both undemocratic and unDemocratic. Nominees should be picked by the people, not by party insiders. And, the fact that the system actually assigns an entity a .5 superdelegate vote just makes the whole thing all the more ludicrous. This process badly needs reform.
