this primary process makes the electoral college look like logic 101. It’s time for the parties to make some changes. Someone tell me why this process is good? Anyone?

Let me give it a try..

• Only the Dems have these 'Super' Delegates, Republicans don't.
  
• The Primaries of both parties were set up to get rid of the 'smoky back-room deals' that was SOP until the 50's (or 60's?) and power brokers 'picked' the Candidates for POTUS and VEEP.
  
• Back to the Dem's now: The Super Delegates' were created (per Bob Beckle on FNC) to 'safeguard' against the Radical Left taking control of the nomination process.
  
• This was the result of what happened at the 1972 Dem Convention when leftist moonbat McGovernites pulled coup and unseated hundreds of Legally Elected Delegates.

  Case in point; The entire Illinois delegation was kicked out after their credentials were 'questioned'. I can still recall the look on Mayor Daley's face (the REAL one, not the kid of today) as he was being escorted out. boy oh boy, if looks could kill.

That's about it in a nut shell.
