Today I was reading that Hillary Clinton has said that she believes that the super delegates should vote for whomever they feel will make the best presidential candidate.  I’ll get to my thoughts on this in a second.  First, to even the playing field.  While Barack Obama seems to not have taken a firm stance on this particular issue seems to be leaning more heavily towards the super delegates voting towards the people’s vote.  Well, this makes sense for both campaigns to have their respective views on super delegate votes.  Each view will benefit their campaign most.  Obama has more delegates based on the popular vote than does Clinton so he would of course want the super delegates to follow the popular while Clinton would want them to go with the “best” candidate.  This would give her the only chance to get them.  I understand that the reason for the super delegates is so that they can vote for whichever person they want to no matter what.  But if they follow the Clinton philosophy then you have to ask yourself what good the popular vote actually is.  What’s the point?  Then the people can vote in who they want and if it’s close, like it is, then the super delegates can negate the whole popular vote if they so choose.  It’s going to be an interesting race.
