Hullabaloo - New Rules

I've seen quite a few comments about superdelegates in the the comment sections of other posts. Here is a link to an interesting discussion on the topic.

Hullabaloo

There is a lot of sturm and drang about this idea of superdelegates deciding the election, with people like Donna Brazile threatening to quit the party if they do.



Comments

This all worrying. Are all these loyal party members telling the world that they didn't know what the rules were prior to the process beginning? Or are they saying that they don't like the idea that whoever they want as the nominee might not win now.

The first possibility brings into question their competence as a party official, the second indicates their lack of commitment to the process that has been okay for decades.

At the end of the day the rules were the same at the start of all the recent elections and now because it might not go the way they want they pick up their ball and wander home whining.

How fair is it to move the goalposts after the kicker has kicked?

They just need to grow up.

Aww man I though Bill Maher had brought back new rules for a second.

You Americans should really think about adopting democracy .
