It blows my mind that people like mateostgo can complain about "paid superdelegates" with a straight face.
Actually, the superdelegates kept Hillary in the race long after it was clear that Obama would have a majority of pledged delegates. Barack realistically locked that up on May 7, the day of the NC and IN primaries, and mathematically clinched it on May 20 -- yet the race went on, wasting millions or dollars that could have been used to fight McCain, only because of those superdelegates that you insist somehow favored Obama over Clinton.
It's simply not true. Obama won, period. I'm weary of this lie that Clinton was screwed by the very superdelegates who kept her candidacy alive, or that she was somehow cheated out of the election by party bigwigs (who of course are those same superdelegates).
Enough with the lies and spin. Obama won. Deal.
