With Hillary's success at the polls this past Tuesday, there is a good chance that neither she or Obama will have enough delegates secured after all the primary elections to grab the democrat nomination for President. Bring on the super delegates!

The official name for super delegates is "unpledged party leader and elected official delegate." These people are super delegates merely because of their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. You might say these are people that hold or have held positions of power or influence in the party.

When the democrat convention is held, the unique privilege these delegates hold is freedom to vote for whomever they choose. They are not obliged to represent the choice of the people. So be it - that is the system.

Think about this for a minute. As the convention draws near, and the race stays close, can you imagine the discussions between the super delegates and the people of Hillary and Obama. Handshakes, persuasion, discussion, promises, support and 'under-the-table-surprises must abound! After a long and close race, is their anything that a super delegate cannot ask for, or be offered? It would be interesting to know!
