The has certainly been a lot of concern registered on this blog and in the media in general about the role of the superdelegates in the Democrats nominating process.
MoveOn summarizes the concern:
"The Democratic Party must be democratic. The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama, then support the people's choice."
So here's the question (please bear with me):
Let's say that Obama wins pledged delegates by a small margin. Something under 50 delegates. Florida and Michigan combined would have had 366 delegates. If the superdelegates believe that Clinton would have gotten more than a 50 delegate advantage out of these states, giving Clinton the lead in pledged delegates, should they then vote to give the nomination to Clinton?
