I know, I know - I said in an earlier post that Hillary should do the honorable thing and step away from the primary. Let Obama have the nomination that he has already won. Well - has he won it?
It's my understanding that the super delegates were first put into place for just this type of situation. They are supposed to ensure that the emotions of the people don't sweep into the nomination the wrong candidate. They exist to make sure that the interests of the party are upheld no matter what the people say. In essence, all those super delegates are supposed to make sure that Hillary wins the nomination. After all, she has won the states with largest electorate college votes. And she has primaries, which are open, as opposed to caucuses which Obama has won.
The only problem is that the democratic rules don't allow for winner take all. So Hillary has had to share her delegates in California and Ohio and other large states. Something she wouldn't have to do in the general election.
So, lets sit back and take a breath. Maybe Hillary has something here. Maybe the super delegates should do their job and make sure the best candidate gets the nomination. Keep playing Hillary, the fat lady hasn't sang yet.
