Haruna,
I think Hillary Clinton's argument is that superdelegates should remain AND that Florida and Michigan delegates should be seated. Please review her statements on both issues...

Full Disclosure: I am also a hopemonger :-)

best,
Modou

It is also agreed that the idea of super delegates determining the nominee  
in the event of a tie or when neither candidate achieves the requisite number 
of  primary and caucus delegates, is UNDEMOCRATIC. And it should not have been  
adopted by the democratic party in the first place. However, it was adopted 
and  all competitors for nomination knew and implicitly accepted that 
arrangement  prior to campaigning for the nomination, and the arrangement should stand.

Fair is fair and quit whining yourselves to defeat Democrats. If the  
Michigan and Florida delegates are to be counted, then the superdelegate  structure 
must be squashed. Alternatively, if the superdelegate structure is to  be 
squashed, then the Florida and Michigan delegates must be counted. That is  what I 
see to be the essence of Hillary Clinton's argument. It makes sense, it  is 
honourable, and it is fair.
