Deanna Maxfield. “Superdelegates don’t give a fair representation”. Daily Trojan. February 13th, 2008 – “Although there is no reason to believe party insiders lack good judgment, the nomination process becomes less democratic if the party’s nominee is determined by fewer than 800 people. Leaving the Democratic nomination up to a relatively small part of the electorate opens the door to behind-the-scenes deals, favors and possible bribes.”
