WSJ.Com Explains Dems Super DipSh** Super Delegates To The Unknowing Lefties

Which are many of Americans who are then quite surprised to find out that on the Democratic side of the fence the will of those Democratic voters this election year may turn out to mean squat diddly when the Dem Kingmakers convene to eventually anoint a Dem king or queen this summer.

This is occurring because Howard Dean in all his brilliance as leader of the DNC shut out the voters of Florida and Michigan with a do or die standoff that rendered their primaries moot for daring to move the dates of their elections to dates not to the liking of Howard the Duck and the DNC.

So due to the unexpected by them closeness of the race this year, neither socialist candidate can win the nomination outright without the SuperDuperDem's scepter of disenfranchisement tipping the scales to the winner.

Only the democrats, the supposed self described party and epitome of fairness and inclusiveness could utilize such an unfair system with a straight face.

The Democrats' Super Disaster -

WSJ.com: "Until recent weeks, one of the least understood aspects of the Democrats' primary contest was the role of superdelegates. These are Democratic Party insiders, members of Congress, and other officials who can cast ballots at the party's national convention this summer.

But now these unelected delegates are coming in for a close inspection, because neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama can win their party's nomination without superdelegate support. The big Pennsylvania primary on April 22, for example, has only 158 delegates at stake (each of them will be pledged to support one of the candidates). By comparison, there are a total of 795 superdelegates, none of whom are required to honor the will of the voters of their state at the party's convention.

Sound undemocratic? It is. That the 2008 Democratic nominee for president will be chosen by individuals no one voted for in the primaries flew for too long under the commentariat's radar. This from the party that litigated to 'make every vote count' in the 2000 Florida recount, reviled the institution of the Electoral College for letting the loser of the national popular election win the presidency, and has called the Bush administration illegitimate ever since." continued
