The RNC Mocks Superdelegates
By
Those elites at the Republican National Committee are mocking those elites in the Democratic Party who call themselves superdelegates.
(Ssh. The GOP also has what I'd call "superdelegates," but they're far fewer in number. The elite of the elite.)
Worth noting that the RNC has a point. Superdelegates were created to appease party fundraisers and leaders who felt that the McGovern-Fraser commission gave too much power to activists and believed that the party need a Senate of sorts who could filter out the McGoverns and the Carters of the party.
