that's what the super selegates invariably do.

People are behaving as if this super delegate thing is something brand new this year, and it's not. It's not ancient history. We've only had them since 1984, and apparently no one remembers that at this point in 2008 Hillary likewise appeared to have a bunch of them in her pocket.

Remind me again why she didn't get nominated and then elected eight years ago.
