5. There's absolutely no indication..
...that the SD's would do this.

In fact, everything that we've heard--signals that the Superdelegates will NOT usurp the
will of the people.

They will go with the candidate who has earned the most pledged delegates, which is
how we determine the primary winner.

I've heard NOT ONE Superdelegate indicate that they will do as you describe. In fact, Pelosi
has come out very strong--against the Superdelegates engaging in this type of decision making--and
she's discussed the gaggle of Superdelegates who will come out, after the last state has voted, and
rally around the candidate with the most pledged delegates.

I understand what you are saying. However, there is no indication that such a scenario will
happen.

Have you heard of Superdelegates saying that they plan on selecting a candidate who is not
winning the most pledged delegates? Have you heard ANY Superdelegate saying that "popular
vote" is most important...more important than pledged delegates?

I've haven't, and I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has.
