Politics – Until recent weeks, one of the least understood aspects of the Democrats' primary contest was the role of superdelegates. These are Democratic Party insiders, members of Congress, and other officials who can cast ballots at the party's national convention this summer.
What else can they do? Neither Hillary, nor Obama have enough delegates to number 2025. If they nominate Obama, Hillary will leak enough info to make him lose the General election. If they seat Hillary, Obama's people will riot, and burn, and tear the party in half. They need a third person, hense enter Al Gore. Ta dum!!
Bob Beckel, and Susan Estritch was on Fox after the last Primary, and they were talking, and laughing about how they devised these Primaries, parceled off, and with 976 Superdelegate, and Susan asked, "What were we smoking?" And that is how it seems, as if you needed to be high on something before the Democrat Primary set-up made sense.

"That the 2008 Democratic nominee for president will be chosen by individuals no one voted for in the primaries flew for too long under the commentariat's radar. This from the party that litigated to "make every vote count" in the 2000 Florida recount, REVILED THE INSTITUTION OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE for letting the loser of the national popular election win the presidency, and has called the Bush administration illegitimate ever since."
Even worse, there's talk of inserting Gore as the presidential nominee. That would mean, in addition to Michigan and Florida, every state wasted millions holding nominating elections that meant not one damned thing.

The Latest on Gore
http://www.algore.org/
From their site
If Clinton and Obama continue to do damage to each other's campaigns, if they continue to split the delegates, if it appears that the Democratic Party will be divided rather than united going into the convention, it may become evident that the party needs someone who can unite the Democrats, and most importantly, someone who can beat John McCain in November. To our way of thinking, the obvious someone is Al Gore.
if they run their primary like this how will they run the country?
"there's talk of inserting Gore as the presidential nominee"
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
If he's smart (snort) he won't accept. I doubt he wants to be a two-time loser!
