With the US Election under way for real and with two primaries completed, it was surprising to me that the Clinton machine has twice as many delegates despite being smashed in Iowa and narrowly winning in New Hampshire, where she and Obama both got nine delegates.
Bring on the Super Delegates, or rather the unelected delegates, many of whom get to make up their own minds. The congressmen, democratic apparatchicks, state politicians and the like. They all get to pledge support to one candidate regardless of the results of the primaries and there are hundreds of them.
Sounds a bit suss to me. Is this not the sort of thing that we complain about in Russia and China. How about some transparency guys? On with the political machine.
