Superdelegates. Politicians by any other name

With Hillary's future still up in the air, despite what her campaign says, and despite what the press says, one wonders about all those superdelegates out there.

Here's the scoop: Superdelegates are politicians. They are waiting to see the direction of the prevailing political wind.

Many are holding out for promises from the candidates in exchange for their votes.

The candidate in greatest need of superdelegate votes will most likely be the one who promises the biggest and best favors in exchange for those votes.

Who's in greatest need of superdelegates? Hillary.

The longer this goes on, the more promises superdelegates will get. The more promises made, the less influence the electorate will have on the result.

When all is said and done, the best result will be the one where the popular vote chooses the nominee.
