Midmorning had a great show this morning on the superdelegates within the Democratic Party. Kerri Miller and her guests talked about why the superdelegates were created and how there could be problems if a superdelegate goes against the popular vote. One of Minnesota's superdelegates, Nancy Larson, also talked about the lobbying going on by the presidential candidates.
