Miss ya girlie!!! :P So what I wanna say is we all know you just wish that the Republican party would come up with candidates as cool as Barack Obama! Or even as cool as Clinton. Just kidding, anyway I too, even as one who leans towards the Democrat side of things am wondering if this lengthy primary process will help or hinder the eventual winner when it comes time for the general election. However, I do think that it is exciting to see such a hard fought primary. I think it leads to a lot of discussion about our political process and our political leaders and all that! So, be patient enjoy the process that makes America what it is: A bunch of greedy people who don't care about anyone else, led by political pawns that are chosen and can be bought by the highest bidder. :D De Lancie- Sup from Ethiopia!

Although non-super-delegates can also change their vote regardless of the primary or caucus result. But this is not looked highly upon.

Why is it then that they give their Superdelegates, made up of party insiders and operatives, big donors, and career politicians, extra say in the primary process? Why does a Superdelegate's primary vote count more than the vote of the common man they consistently claim to champion?

Both of them want to enlarge the scope of the federal government for short-term political/policy objectives. If anything, we need to take a step away from BIG GOVERNMENT.
