Maybe even a test of how democratic The Democratic Party wants to be. At the point when Obama had the lead in both delegates and total votes he had a very strong argument for receiving the support of the Party structure. Now, however, Clinton is ahead in the vote total, and Obama only leads in delegates. The Obama argument that I have heard after Tuesday is that the one with the most total delegates gets the nomination, so the one with the most pledged delegates is entitled to receive Supredelegate support. The logic of that seems less than persusaive to me. I think that the individual is deserving of the greatest amount of respect in a free and democratic society. To feel otherwise, it seems to me, is to be on the side of The Republic Party. Yes, the final totals are not in yet. However, isn't it time for a general rule to announced, one that says that every vote is equal to every other? The “Superdelegate” issue is now becoming particularly interesting.
