Wasserman (I think it was) said they liked the super delegates because it prevented a grass grass campaign from derailing what the party was working on. 

From a campaign perspective, I get that. You plan on one or two people out of the early dozen that launch bids. From a "hey I detest both parties and want an alternative" perspective, I don't like the idea someone could gain enough ground and get shot down by a handful of votes.

But a two party system is what is.


As far as a Biden/buttgeig ticket, I'm wondering if that's why Pete dropped out. I get being the bigger man, but I'm wondering if he isn't hoping that helps Biden and Biden remembers that down the road.
