Clinton v Obama = Bush v. Gore?

A rousing win for Obama has put him in the lead for delegates for the nomination.....
or has it?
(will the establishment screw the voters one more time?)
As has been pointed out before here, but that's NOT the count that counts.
In fact, in the delegate count, Clinton is well ahead because of the superdelegates.
Here's what I am afraid will happen. Obama continues from strength to strength in the upcoming days, or falls closely enough behind to keep it close, and he comes out ahead in the pledged delegate count. The voters have spoken, and Obama is our nominee!
Except, those superdelegates could weigh in the way they have currently and throw the nomination to Clinton.
oh, and they'll call it "a brokered convention..." not "a ripoff of the party faithful"
We will once again have the winner of the votes losing in the exercise of an archaic and undemocratic institution. (I presume that Clinton is the more likely beneficiary as the bigger insider here.)
What then?
[I wish I trusted my party more. Sigh.]
