Barack Obama, working-class hero?
On a bus tour through Pennsylvania, Obama tries to impress blue-collar white voters. He'll need them to keep the state close in April -- or to win it in November.

  • @ red_gti2000

    ... shouldn't the _independent_ votes of the superdelegates count even more?... It would seem to me, then, that _if_ both the pledged delegate and popular vote counts are close then the superdelegates would have a moral obligation to discount the "gaming" that went on and vote for the candidate they believed had the better chance of winning the election.

    I would agree, except you are making a few assumptions:

    • super delegates are independent
    • super delegates are logical
    • super delegates are moral

    and forgetting one important fact

    • super delegates are POLITICIANS
