[Dems2008] Re: Donna Brazille and super delegates

I think it's so silly to suddenly research the Democratic primary
process and then attack it when we are only a few months away from
the convention.
If you had a problem with the Super Delegate system, then you should
have arrived at that conclusion months/years ago.
I feel completely confident that you would not be opposing the Super
Delegate system if it benefited Obama. This situation is oddly
reminiscent to 2000, when all of us screamed about the electoral
process after it didn't benefit Gore.

We should evaluate these systems before and after elections, but not
during- it's too hard to look at the system objectively.

Finally, I hope all of you who claim that the Super Delegate system
is unjust will keep that feeling to yourself in the next few months-
first of all, the system is not going to change during this election
cycle.
Finally, your cries of unfairness will only hurt HRC's chances of
winning the general election. We need a unified, excited Democratic
party.
