Thankfully Republicans don't participate in the super delegate insanity that may further divide the Democratic Party.

Obama has "donated" close to 3/4 of a million dollars to the campaigns of these super delegates, compared to the couple of hundred thousand dollars Clinton has thrown their way. (click here for info)

A recent study has detailed the contributions to the super delegates (click here for more info)

The difference is shocking- did Clinton think she had no need to buy these super delegates because she presumed they would remain loyal? Did Obama knowingly funnel money to them because he understood he would need to buy them off to get their support?

It seems that the super delegates would be wise to send the money back to each of the candidates so as to eliminate the perception of a buyoff.

What will the people of the Democratic Party do if the super delegates decide the election? What if the facts clearly indicate the machine is more important than the people? Can Hillary survive the wrath of "the people" if she usurps their vote? Can Obama thrive in DC without the machine?

In the words of so many: Power to the People!!
