The Democratic National Committee is meeting this weekend. Members of the DNC are elected from each state and are tasked with setting policy and direction for the Democratic Party. I have friends on the DNC so I will probably be a lot nicer than I normally would be when talking about this.

The DNC is total caca del toro when it comes to Super Delegates. That’s the nicest I can be.

Super Delegates are those party insiders who get a free ride to the Democratic National Convention as voting delegates because they are members of the DNC, elected officials, past party officers, former elected officials, friends of friends of past party officers, and God only knows how many are blood related or the product of political incest. They comprise about 15% of the delegates and can sway a party presidential nomination.

It’s just not fair and it’s just not how democracy is supposed to work.

Every delegate to the national convention should be elected by their presidential preference. The DNC said this weekend that they would “limit super delegates” but they won’t say how. They formed another damn committee to look into it. They kicked the can down the road – again.

I’m just about sick of them. Please let your DNC members know that you are made about this. Also find out who the super delegates are in your state and ask them what makes them so damn special.

Thank you for some good old fashioned hell raising.

(I’m off the LaGrange, Texas, today to attend a planning session for my friend Cecil Webster who is running in a special election. I’ll be back tonight.)
