I don't understand the uproar about the super delegates. Obama is the guy that first made a fuss about the "will of the people" being thwarted. Each of these delegates is a prominent Democrat selected for their judgment in furtherance of the party. They are deliberately each given the same voice as each elected delegate for the very purpose of ensuring that a solid selection is made.
Each party gets to decide how their candidates will be selected. The nominee is NOT elected in a straight-out primary, by the choice of the party. The nominee is decided according to the rules set out by the party. The voters get a voice, and the party "elite" gets a voice. That's how it was set up. Changing specific rules that favor a specific candidate is actually pretty sneaky. Obama's people say out of one side of their face that the "rules" must be obeyed when it comes to seating the Florida delegates... Then the other side of their face says that the super delegates should be subordinate to the elected delegates. Isn't it cute that one of the newest guys on the national party scene decides he gets to rule on the validity of the rules of the party after the fact.
