55. Unless one of the candidates gets a majority and reaches 2025 elected delegates through
an admittedly flawed process, just what is "the Will of the People?"

No matter which candidate the super delegates back, they will be overriding the votes of the majority of Democrats who bothered vote or attend the caucuses.

I think there should have been a provision for a national runoff between the top two if neither achieved majority support; but it's too late for that now, since this must be resolved under the 2008 rules.

Our candidate, is not going to be the choice of the majority of voters no matter who is picked. We need better rules for 2012. `
