This is not quite true. Some states have Republican super delegates. In CO, the two national party members and our state chairman are automatically delegates to the national convention. This may be a state decision only, I don’t know, but it is true that Republicans do have super delegates. We must don’t have as many as the Democrats, nor did we do it to create a special class of delegates, which the Democrats did.
For current count, see: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#D
As I’ve posted before, the Democrats have established the equivalent of the Politburo inside their own party. Allowing the unwashed masses the chance to elect 60 percent of the delegates provides a veneer of a free election, but since those votes are usually scattered among several candidates, whomever the Politburo wants to see in office gets the nomination.
Which will be Hillary.
And the media and the left in general will not care, since their interest is power for themselves.
It’s not all that different from other Democrat machine tactics 100 years ago in Chicago or Tammany Hall, with a layer of Leninism on the top to ensure better control of ideology and candidates.
I just had someone this morning tell me this morning that he’s not going to vote for the anyone supported by the “Republican machine.” I had to remind him that he’s a moron, told him about the superdelegates, the Democrat history of city politics. He told me that it didn’t matter, since the Republicans are also racist and fascist. The Dems would be proud.
The Democratic National Convention ought to be a real riot this year.
