FeedsReplying to a comment on Superdelegates?
You make many fine points, and underline the problem: we're bandying about ideas and, if we're not careful, the specifics get lost in the wake. I confess that I'm still torn in reading over many fine arguments one way or another, but it's not for lake of careful thought.
The "will of the people" idea is where it gets really sticky. How the heck do you define that in a system like our primary? There are several solutions out there, either via the pledged delegates or popular vote or some other. For me, I think I was aiming for the superdelegates-to-pledged solution, but I accept your argument on superdelegates as compelling. Sorry for the confusion, but I was still turning it all over in my head while I was writing.
And, on a sidenote, I would entertain the idea of throwing out the electoral college altogether for a national popular vote. Do you have any thoughts on that?
