Pundits are, so far, right with one thing: It appears that a significant part of the equation for both campaigns is all about the superdelegates. While I am still learning more about this very privileged class of voters, the overall situation to me — that a relatively small group of voters can decide the nominee – seems unsettling. There is something inherently undemocratic about delegates voting independently and without obligation to support the candidate chosen by the voters.
