    "Professionals"?!?

    "...if the superdelegates decide it, it means that the electorate did not decisively choose a candidate.

    In that case, maybe it is better that they are decided by the professionals."

    You mean, like the wonderful, competent professionals who thought that John Kerry could win, and shouldn't bother to respond to the Swift Boat ads? The professionals who decided it wasn't worth fighting in Florida in 2000? The professionals who lost Congress for so many years, and who have been busily falling over backwards to give Bush and Cheney whatever they want?

    You know, the "professionals" who were totally helpess when they were in the minority in Congress, and are totally helpless now that they're in the majority? The ones who couldn't stand up for a core Democratic principle to save their lives?

    Please, tell me more about those incredible professionals!
