Hey @Unhappy438 you said that superdelegates were no longer in play in this election for the Democrats.
I was watching a TV news channel (can't remember which channel, CNN or Sky I think) and they said that superdelegates will have a say. A quick google search also reveals that they are still a go.

Much disappoint in you I am :cautious:

They will have a say if no-one gets 50 percent of pledged delegates, which is looking increasingly likely with Sanders' weaknesses in the South and likely marginal victories in the north east.

Ah ok, so is that a change from previous years when they voted regardless?

A really great interview here from the old days when people had respectful debates on TV.

Milton Friedman chats to the liberal Phil Donahue about capitalism and governments role.


The #1 socialist argument is at 20:50.

FiveThirtyEight predicts the chances of no-one getting a majority of pledged delegates rises to 60 percent. :thumbsup:

Is it going to be like 1968 again, where the Democratic National Convention descended into chaos, the general public took one look at that and voted overwhelmingly for Nixon in 1968??
