What Are Super-Delegates?
This is from an interesting post on the democrats ‘super-delegates’ at Right Pundits.
All those delegates being elected by the two parties in all the primaries choose the next candidate for their respective parties, right? Yup – if you are a Republican, but not if you are a Democrat.
In the Democratic party, some delegates are more equal than others. The voters are chosing delegates, but have no say (directly) in the super delegates.
