Ask CNN to be honest about superdelegates
A controversy over the role of superdelegates in the Democratic presidential nomination campaign has erupted since Super Tuesday. Google News shows well over over 8,000 results for super delegates in the last month, most of those occurring in the past week. With neither Obama nor Clinton appearing able to seal the nomination solely with the support of elected, or pledged delegates, the controversy can be summed up as follows :
Mrs. Clinton’s aides said the delegates should make their decision based on who they thought would be the stronger candidate and president. Mr. Obama argues that they should follow the will of the Democratic Party as expressed in the primary and caucuses - meaning the candidate with the most delegates from the voting.
