The Popular Vote

Does it bother anyone else that people are arguing about whether or not the popular vote counts?
Since "Super Tuesday", Barack Obama has received the support of 47 Superdelegates. Hillary Clinton has lost 7, at least 3 went to Obama, and 1 is disgraced New York Governor Elliot Spitzer.
Yesterday was the Iowa County Conventions, and I was a delegate in Clinton County. There was a woman there who supported Hillary Clinton and she said that every Democrat would vote for either Hillary or Obama. I told her that I would note vote for Hillary and would rather vote for McCain. She asked me why, which could be a daylong conversation. I told her first about Mark Penn's Facebook comment which told me the youth vote was not important to her. She said that that is not evidence against her because she did not say it, yet she never denounced it or said otherwise. She told me that there is a big difference between McCain and Obama on the war. I said that the war right now is not a problem with me, the surge worked. She told me the sure did not work and that I should educate myself on current events. I get a news feed about 24/7, and I told her I pay attention to all current events, and the surge worked. I said I don't understand where Hillary gets her experience from. She has had only one elected position and I don't count First Lady as a political experience. She told me that everything I say is just talk and that I need to educate myself. I guess she didn't know who she was talking too, and I told her I have educated myself on every candidate, and I don't see where Hillary has anymore experience then Barack. She said we need to agree to disagree and walked away. She never gave me one reason to support Hillary, she just told me why I was wrong.
It is people like her that are telling people that their vote doesn't count anymore, and that superdelegates are the thing that counts. That is where democracy is dieing. How can Hillary say that she will win based on Super Delegates when she has not received very many at all since January. How can the next President of the United States tell the American people that the record amount of youth and new voters that have come out in this election do not matter.
It I was a Superdelgate I would get off my butt and make a difference now. Come on Bruce Braley and Tom Harkin. Come on Jim Webb and Nancy Pelosi. Al Gore. Bill Richardson and Joe Biden. Do something to get this party connected. Show people that their vote matters in this election.
