Superdelegates

Who these nameless few? Friend or foe? Why are they super and when they rip open their shirts do their Clark Kent personas change to men or women of steel - all wielding S’s on their substantial chests? That could prove bothersome at the democratic convention, elbows smacking each other as they tear open their shirts while searching for a phone booth, an aspiration which could prove tricky even in Denver, Colorado. But my biggest question is how come I never heard of such a delegate before – were they there in Democratic party obscurity waiting patiently and just recently received their super powers? How did they get these powers - can regular folk get some powers too – do any of them have heat vision or the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound? Now that’s real super!!

My thoughts have turned to same given that the results of tomorrow’s showdown in Ohio and Texas could make these hidden figures the deciding vote and therefore the tweekers of history – so to speak. Do they take their responsibility seriously? Do they lie awake at night pondering the tremendous weight of the task ahead? Have they already made up their minds or are they leaving the decision to the convention voting day? Are they firmly in one camp or the other? I guess this is what makes them super – the super responsibility that confronts them in the future. To those whom much is given, much is expected. I guess that the world will just have to wait and see how the superdelegates exercise their super powers - should be interesting!!
