As the Democratic primaries continue to unwind, a clear frontrunner is emerging. Despite this, Hillary Clinton is calling for the Superdelegates to side with her (regardless of the people’s will). Her camp has gone so far as to create a website urging for the support of the Superdelegates. The question arises, will the so-called Superdelegates be swayed to side with Hillary?
Superdelegates find themselves in an incredibly unique position. However, their role is to ensure that nobody runs the party into the ground, and to do what is in the best interest of the Democratic party — that is precisely what they should and will do. The Democratic party finds itself with two incredibly talented and capable candidates for the Office of President. Neither Clinton nor Obama will run the party into the ground, and both have the potential to beat the Republican nominee. Thus, the Superdelegates do not need to save the party from any incompetent candidate, but rather follow the will of the people. Whichever candidate is leading in terms of pledged delegates, states won, and overall popular vote (hopefully one candidate will lead in all three categories), will get the nod of the Superdelegates.
If the Superdelegates fail to listen to their own voters, it will be reminiscent of the 2000 Presidential General Election, and the Democratic Party will lose considerable respect and validity. In such a case, the Superdelegates will be running the party into the ground, rather than saving it.
