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.

Anna, Your blog is looking good, though you might think about changing the colors a bit to make it easier to read. I really like your background info and posts. Perhaps a short statement on the focus of your story would be useful as well. As you know your final story must have original material - not your opinion. The best and easiest way to do that is to contact people and interview them on your topic, and then write the story of what you find. Great stuff so far. -Professor Walker
