not super at all

Now that this is all over, I have one small message to the superdelegates who held out until days before the primary season ended.

YOU SUCK

This could have been over MONTHS ago but for your spinelessness, your egotastic mediamongering desire for attention. You weren't sure where the candidates stood on important issues, you say? Try listening to one of the twenty-plus debates that can readily be found on YouTube--try reading cnn or msnbc for countless exhaustive reports of their consistent stands made on various topics. Try TALKING to them--you're freaking superdelegates! How on earth, at this late hour, could you have anything left to decide?

The truth is, you didn't. Either you were too afraid to piss off one candidate by voting on another, or too politically emasculated to vote on your principles. And thanks to you, the Democrats have been rent asunder and are weaker now than they were before. Yes yes the whole system of superdelegates needs to be throw out of the window like sushi gone bad, but who knew that you could have created a situation like this? Who knew the individual delegates might refrain from making a decision, thereby fouling up the whole process? Who, with that amount of political power, doesn't use their position and intelligence to find out who to vote for as soon as possible? Is it that hard?
