how to vote...?

Well, looks like Super D's are in a perdicament...should they vote for who THEY want to be the candidate...or should they go with the majority primary vote of their district, and vote accordingly...
Technically, Super delegates are supposed to go with the majority vote, and put their support behind the candidate their district supports, however, this election seems to be going differently for some delegates...
Take New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for example. Richardson put his support behind Obama--yet the New Mexico primary went in favor of Clinton.
So, what should super delegates be doing? Theres no law that says their support has to reflect that of the peoples...but technically, if its not, whats the point of primaries, or democracy even?
Take a look at this video from CNN for a closer look.

So far in the race for delegates...

Well , we're well into the race for president and we have yet to establish a democratic candidate. The Washington Post featured a front page story today that said, despite the recent outcomes in Michigan and Florida, Hillary Clinton will indeed stay in the race until the DNC. Story

Clinton spoke adamantly about how the primaries in both Michigan and Florida must be resolved in order to continue on, and that she will certainly not drop out of the race early.

If both candidates are still in the race come the convention in August it will all boil down to Super Delegates...to see the list of super delegates and the states they belong to click here .
