  •  I don't want to overturn either decision. (0+ / 0-)

    FL and MI should not count, and the superdelegates should remain free to vote as they say fit.  That said, there is no rule against publicly urging the superdelegates to do the right thing, i.e., support the candidate chosen by the voters.  The only ones seeking to override the DNC are the folks who want FL and MI delegates to be seated.

      the Right Thing is to vote for the candidate they feel is most qualified for the job. Regardless how others voted.

      If you are given a responsibilty, you can not just do as everyone does. You need to do what you personally think is the right decision.

      Voting with the majority is the exact equivalent of resigning your voting rights.

        Consider what might happen the party's chances in November (and beyond) if the superdelegates handed the nomination to someone other than the pledged delegate leader.  Each superdelegate will make his or her own decision, but that has to be part of the equation.
