Today’s Democratic Presidential candidates, the media, and Democratic Party officials are creating a huge debate of whether or not Super delegates should choose the people’s choice for president, or whether they should vote for who they feel is the ‘most qualified’. However, it should be their duty to select a Presidential nominee based on the choice of the voting populace.
If one has not heard the immense debate over the past weeks over the importance of Super delegates in the Democratic Party’s presidential nominating process and their influence over selecting a presidential nominee, then one has not been paying attention to the biggest catastrophe of the Democratic Party’s nomination process.
These Presidential Nominee King-Makers (Super delegates) are the biggest annoyance to the Democratic Party. Super delegates can potentially override the Democratic voters’ choice for a presidential nominee altogether. Currently, there are close to eight-hundred Super delegates who could swing the presidential nomination to either Senator Barack Obama or Senator Hillary Clinton. That is not to say they will, but it is plausible. Hillary Clinton’s lead among Super delegates is a prime example how these Super delegates could override the voter’s plurality and select a different candidate in any election for president.
Super delegates are a move to give politicians more of what they do not need: power. It gives Senators, Representatives, Governors, and Democratic Party ‘Elites’ the opportunity to be more powerful than the people that elect them. Super delegates discourage the party’s platform of a ‘party of the people and by the people’. Furthermore, it should be their responsibility to do what is right. Super delegates must wait for the people to decide, and then select the plurality’s choice.
Here is my advice to the Super delegates: Vote for the Presidential nominee who receives the most votes.
Here’s my advice to the Democratic Party: Do away with these ‘Super delegates’, and go with the plurality in the next nomination process.

Hey, what do you know! We agree on something! :-D Great piece of writing!

Why not do majority and make things less difficult to begin with? Seems to work for the GOP quite well enough if you ask me.
