‘My Brother the Superdelegate’Posted on Feb 11, 2008Hollywood bigwig Ari Emanuel knows a thing or two about superdelegates. His brother, Congressman Rahm Emanuel, is one. But, as Ari writes on the Huffington Post, “as much as I love and respect him, I don’t trust him and his fellow superdelegates to decide for me and the American people who should be the Democratic nominee—and, therefore, most likely the next president of the United States.”

By Trigger finger, February 12 at 4:34 am # Seems to me the Democrats now have a sure fire way to fix this election. There will be no changes in Washington, just the same old political B__l S__t. There is no way for the voters to win in these fixed elections. Why even have them, just let congress or the courts name a new president or even better just let the president name a successor. Think of the money we could save. What a farce.

By Conservative Yankee, February 12 at 7:26 am # Granted that the US has one of theI live to close to Canada to accept this notion. Although the parliamentary system has its flaws also, they are not as glaring. One of the reasons for this is there is no “National” election per se. There are many small elections where it is more difficult to cheat. Just the enormity of 150 million voters, and an electoral college parsed, not by population, but by land-mass seems to negate fairness. Maine has more than twice the number of people Wyoming has, BUT they get only 1 more elector. That isn’t any where near “representative” someone care to disagree? Add Your Comment |
