As the race for president and the Democratic nomination draws closer and closer, like a barrel of gunpowder, it is widely said that the super delegates will be the one to decide who becomes the Democratic nominee. And so there is a tooth and nail fight for the super delegates so that Obama or Clinton will be able to run for president. There also seems to be a hierarchy among the super delegates–whoever gets to appoint more super delegates is therefore higher in the pecking order. It seems normal to me, that you would want to have the super delegates with appointing power on your side. I think it is very cool that some super delegates can appoint up to five other super delegates at the convention. Like Art Torres, the chairman of the California Democratic Party. Control over a total of six votes is a pretty big deal when that is what this race is beginning to depend upon. But imagine if you made the wrong decision… And America got a president that we do not need. How horrible would that be? There is never anything that would really help your decision, except whether you would follow your state’s wishes. To be a super delegate, you must have extreme presence of mind and a high determination to do what it right. Which is why I want to see the Inauguration in January to see what came of the super delegates decision.
