I feel like crying. Method.

It is hardly coercion.

He represents nobody but himself nowadays. He is not beholden to any voters. That's not the problem with this particular SD, though.

However, he is a great example of what is wrong with the superdelegate system. His vote counts significantly more - 1000s of times more - than the average voter.
