his brother's keeper

Ari Emanuel, brother of Rahm Emanuel, has a must read post up over at huffpo.
he does a great job of laying out why the superdelegates must not be allowed to choose the Democratic nominee.
here's a little taste:

"The superdelegates, my brother included, have not been elected by anybody to name the nominee. They've either been appointed by the Party or, as in my brother's case, have automatically inherited the role simply because they are elected officials... they were created by the Party machine decades ago for the express purpose of giving Party insiders the ability to thwart the popular will."

"We should be as opposed to superdelegates changing the course of an election as we were to the Supreme Court appointing George W. Bush president."
go take a look.
