The current Democratic presidential election is both exciting and gravely concerning as it becomes more and more clear that we may reach the national convention in August without a nominee in place. My greatest fear is that the WILL OF THE PEOPLE will be upset by the will of the superdelegates, often who are wheeling and dealing behind closed doors for reasons other than honoring the wishes of their constituents. Given that Obama won this state with 68% of the vote, an overwhelming endorsement by our voters, AT THE VERY LEAST I would expect the superdelegates' support to reflect that same ratio of votes. At best, with such a huge endorsement for Obama, I think there's a good case for the superdelegates getting totally behind the winner of the state. The absolutely worst thing that could happen for the solidarity of this party would be for the superdelegates to choose a candidate who did NOT have the most ELECTED delegates. This outcome would totally destroy the Democratic party and betray what a true democracy stands for. Not only would this create an outrage throughout the country, but the rest of the world would have more evidence that the United States of America preaches one thing but does not act accordingly. If this country is supposed to be "...of the people, by the people and for the people," it would be unconscionable to let power brokers undo the will of the people. Please give my position serious consideration and ensure that the actions of the superdelegates represent the principles on which this country was founded.
