Superdelegate FAQ

SUBMAN1 · 04-30-08, 11:23 AM

Q. Why do the Democrats have superdelegates?
A. Democrats got burned by democracy in many previous elections, so they decided that after the long primary battle between Democratic candidates for the president, they'll just go ahead and have their elites pick the winner.

Q. So why even have the primary process and not just have the superdelegates pick the winner?
A. The Democrats know they need to keep their voters busy or they might try thinking for themselves.

Q. The Democrats claim that the superdelegates only enhances the primary process. Is this true?
A. The stated purpose of the superdelegates is to make sure that the idiots who make up the Democrat base don't nominate someone unelectable.

Q. Like Barack Obama?
A. Yep. Shiny new candidate all the dummies flock to while the elites deep down know he's going to be a disaster.

Q. Plus, the Democrats don't want the minorities to get all uppity.
A. Well that goes without saying.

Q. So who are the superdelegates?
A. They are the elites of the elites -- the intelligentsia of the Democratic Party.

Q. White people!
A. Pretty much. While white men don't actually vote for Democrats anymore, they still run the party.

Q. I don't trust white people.
A. I'm not going to argue you should.

Q. So how does one get to be a superdelegate?
A. You have to work in the higher echelons of the party, laugh at religious people, and consistently underestimate middle America.

Q. And be white.
A. I didn't say it.

Q. It's time to take the party away from those honkeys!
A. Why is my questioner today a black militant?

Q. Shut up, cracker! I'm asking the questions!
A. Fine. Anymore questions?

Q. So is the superdelegate system pretty much assured to rip the Democratic Party apart?
A. Yes. You'd almost think some Republican operative came up with idea.

Q. Who did come up with it?
A. Someone named Rarl Kove. Is it just me, or does his mustache look fake?

Q. All I know is that he looks white, so you know he's up to something!

A. You can say that again, brother.

Q. Don't brother me, honkey!
A. Sorry.

I think my proxy is blocking it, and I don't feel like reconfiguring to make it work.

Currently running a 3 teir system for ad blocking -

The three of those together work great.

Q. Why don't Republicans have Superdelegates?
A. Republicans actually also have Superdelegates, but instead call them Supreme Court Judges! Like their Democrat counterparts, they come in at the end of a selection process and decide the overall winner.

However, unlike Democrat Superdelegates, Suprime Court Judges are not elected to represent the party at a convention, nor are they limited to choosing between Republican Candidates. In 2000, the Republicans actually decided between a Democrat and a Republican, nominating the candidate with the least votes to bypass the election and become President.

Gore took it to court. The Supreme Court just put an end to the 'recount after recount' charade. ALL the votes had been counted multiple times. BTW, after all those recounts, Gore never had the numbers to put him over the top. The Supreme Court didn't choose any winner, they simply stopped a Democrat party election theft attempt, after the votes showed Bush the clear winner. It was actually alot of fun to watch.

Shall we really open up this can of worms?

Read into the electoral college before my head explodes with - "the candidate should win who won the popular vote."
