Remember The Superdelegates?

Apparently, the DNC is in the process of debating whether or not to keep Supers in the primary election process:

One year after the country got an in-depth lesson on "superdelegates," the Democratic Party may consider doing away with them in the future.

It was just over one year ago when Barack Obama accumulated more delegates than Hillary Clinton, causing the former first lady to end her historic campaign to become the Democratic presidential nominee.

But there is no rest for the weary.

The lengthy, expensive, and often divisive 2008 Democratic nominating process caused the launch of a Democratic National Committee review of how to tweak the primary and caucus process to avoid some of the pitfalls exposed in the Obama vs. Clinton battle royale last year.
I say get rid of 'em. It seems to me to be a unnecessary step in the process.
