SUPER DELEGATES, OR SUPER PROBLEM

Hey world-wide web this is Adam58 bringing you the scoop on the politcal conundrums of 2008. With the recent win by Barack Obama in the all of the Potomac Primaries, a slurry of news agencies are now becoming increasingly focussed on the possibility of a democratic convention decided by the "SUPER DELEGATES." (UH OH, WERE IN TROUBLE) It is of importance to all, that Hillary Clinton (blasphemy!!!!!!!) has the largest number of super delegates, which means that at this point in time Hillary has a slight edge over Barack. However it is also a distinguishable fact that SUPER DELEGATES are allowed to vote for whichever candidate they wish to allign themselves with. This could spell a lot of trouble for Hillary if the delegate counts are extremely close, which is a highly likely possiblity. WHY YOU MIGHT ASK? Well the anwer is simple, because super delegates are allowed to vote for whomever they please individuals such as Ted Kennedy (Senator from Massachusetts) can vote for a candidate that was not proclaimed as the canidate pick for the people that they represent. (FYI: Massachusetts fell with little trouble to Hillary who beat out Barack by a substantial margin) My inside sources tell me that if it does come down to the "Super Delegates" at the Democratic National Convention it could very well be a Barrack Obama win, due entirely to the fact that any of the SUPER DELEGATES are deffecting from Hillary (thank the lord) and aligning themselves with the populistic ideology of Barack Obama. I end with a question to all individuals on the web you may be reading this blog: Will a win a the convention with the use of SUPER DELEGATES destroy the Democratic Party or will it just be another way hat the citizens of the United States get shafted in this so-called "representative government" of ours.
