Reining in the Superdelegates
NY Sun ^ | June 13, 2008 | Bartle Bull

Posted on 06/13/2008 7:24:30 AM PDT by SunkenCiv

Well-meaning, often first-time voters gush that it has been exciting that at last they could choose either a black or a woman... race and gender have emerged as credentials of their own... The undemocratic processes of the Democratic party, normally confined to urban political machines like Chicago's, have been enhanced this year by the party's manipulations in Florida and Michigan, and in the cynical system of superdelegates... The Democratic nominee has stated that the Iraq war already has been lost. Despite this falsehood, Mr. Obama declares that it is the president who has misled our country. Although he has the most extreme voting record of any senator of his party, the Democratic candidate claims to be a figure of reconciliation. Though he is the product of the most enduring corrupt city government in the country, he poses as the candidate of reform... For 20 years he has associated himself with a racist preacher. Worse, the voting abuses that were formerly characteristic of the unreformed Dixiecrat South now have been adopted by Mr. Obama's supporters in the north. With an 84% black population, the mayor of Gary, Ind., hoping that his county would put Mr. Obama over the top with elected delegates, bused entire classes of high school seniors to special early voting places at the public's expense for the Indiana primary... An honorable and experienced candidate by any standard, Senator McCain must confront a wave of enthusiasm fueled by this unhealthy divisiveness and by valid discontent with the government... Mr. McCain is a patriotic naval officer who advocates cutting taxes and building up our armed forces. That still is the correct program for the Democratic Party and our country.

See also a Krauthammer op-ed, War could win it for John McCain. I'd post it, but I've got to get going.
