Media Reporting Un-cast Super Delegate Votes for Hillary Clinton Misleading & Unethical
The numbers reported out of NH may very well not be the case as we move forward. Some of Hillary's superdelegates changed to Obama in the end, in 2008. So anyone concerned about the delegate count, watch this, and be heartened. The media is using the un-cast votes in order to undermine our enthusiasm in the process.

I very much appreciated your post about SDs. 
But posting facts to rebut incorrect statements is something that I like to do, no matter whom I support.
We have much more in common than not. Too many seem to forget that in the heat of the campaign. I certainly do not include you among them.
The issue of SDs is confusing for many (both newbies and those who just never paid attention in previous elections). The reactions include knee-jerk denial and accusations of unfairness. But it is what it is.
As I noticed in your excellent OP on the topic, you invited those who found SDs to be unfair to work towards remedying the situation in future elections. I didn't notice whether anyone ever took you up on the invitation. Many seem to want it to be different NOW - just for Bernie, either not knowing or not caring why SDs exist in the first place and not thinking long-term at all.
Instant gratification predominates among too many who really do not understand the day-in day-out work of people who don't just wake up to politics once every four years.
that would provide a delegate-to-delegate comparison to 2008. 2016 running totals for both parties can be found here: http://www.uspresidentialelectionnews.com/2016-primary-delegate-count/

Lots to see and learn. Good luck!
