"The Will of the People"

Donna Brazile is a Democratic superdelegate. Right now, on CNN she said, "The vote I cast in the District of Columbia is my vote. But my vote as a superdelegate should reflect the will of the people."

She's right. And I hope the other superdelegates agree with her.

Many Democrats have been vocal about voting irregularities in the last two elections. And now, with the closeness of this campaign, the role of superdelegates, and the stupid decision not to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida, the Democrats have a chance to make the vote reflect, as Brazile says, the will of the voters.

There will be strong pressure to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida. While that was a collossally stupid decision, it's one that everyone has to live with now. The rules can't be changed midstream. And however the votes shake out at the end of this process, it has to be fair. It can't be the party insiders deciding this election based on money, pressure, and politics. If that happens, an awful lot of people will be leaving the Democratic Party.
