Huffington Post had it 13 to 13 when I looked at it.
As I said above, I do know super-delegates can change their mind. However, this type of scenario, one in which the people chooses a candidate the party does not support, that selection can be overridden with enough super-delegate votes. Knowing what I know about how the Democratic party itself feels about Sanders, I believe it will take comfort in the fact Clinton has an overwhelming amount of super-delegates already.
Keep your eye on the prize and don't take anything for granted.

If anything, this is proof that the super-delegate system is inherently unfair and needs to be changed. I can't believe our party allows this.

(9,314 posts)Most of us believe that the DNC wants Hillary, as well as the MSM, Third-Wayers, etc. If the party itself objects to the candidate the voters select, it would have no problem overriding the will of the people wit super-delegates. One can only hope Sanders can garner enough votes to outweigh the number of super-delegates.
