Death of the Superdelegate?Posted on Dec 31, 2009
A group of Democrats convened by Barack Obama has recommended that the Democratic Party eliminate the influence of “superdelegates,” who have had an unrestricted vote in the nomination process because they were not selected based on the primaries or caucuses.

Oh, and above all NO VOTING BLOCKS. No parties. Anyone proved to be making deals for votes, or attempting to form criminal voting blocks such as political parties, is arrested, stripped of citizenship, and then deported. Every vote a vote of conscience. (Remember those irrelevant things we used to call constituents? Ask them each time if it’s too hard decide without party bosses. The party system is inherently unconstitutional).

Off the cuff, my solution for the campaign money problem is:
The states, or even the Feds, set a budget. It’s the same for every candidate, period. If any TV ads are to be run, they are to be run for free. If you own a TV station and you want an FCC licence, then you have to run ads at election time. Public service, no excuses. Papers and radio too. One could let media outlets opt out if they need to, but then they can’t run ANY political ads for anyone. Hired lobbyists, outlawed.

hello. super delegates were supposed to swing the party will, i do not know they ever were going to reflect the will of the people; only a political maneuver. i agree eliminating the dollar from the system more accurately reflects the vast majority of the people. seems to nullify super delegates now that he is in office, is a means to consolidate more power from his slipping base.
