Perfect example

This is a perfect example of the Democratic mindset. It is an arguement FOR superdelegates. The basic idea that he is putting forward is that if the voters can't come to an overwhelming majority opinion of who they want to be their candidate, then the 'party elites' can step in and help vett out the right candidate that has the best chance of winning the election.

What is really behind it is this: the average citizen is just not smart enough to pick the candidate that is going to be the best person for the position. Democracy is great, but sometimes the elites need to make the decision and the Democrats obviously just don't trust the common man to do it.

The people just aren't smart enough to make their own decisions.

We're the Democratic leadership... trust us. ;)
