In the event that NYC Council Member Charles Barron's post on superdelegates, below, has left you wondering what to do, turn your attention to this effort by Moveon.org-Political Action to remind Democratic Party Superdelegates about the democratic process. Sign their petition here Update: A link to an interesting debate on this post jump. Moveon writes:

You've probably heard about the "superdelegates" who could end up deciding the Democratic nominee. The superdelegates are under lots of pressure right now to come out for one candidate or the other. We urgently need to encourage them to let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama—and then to support the will of the people. Can you sign this petition to the superdelegates right away? Click here to add your name: If we can reach 200,000 signatures this week, we'll publish the petition along with the final number of signers as an ad in USA Today. If you're one of the first people to sign, we'll include your name (with your permission). The petition says: "The Democratic Party must be democratic. The superdelegates should let the voters decide between Clinton and Obama, then support the people's choice." Please forward this email to 5 friends today so we can hit 200,000 signatures by Friday. Who are the superdelegates? Most of them aren't elected—they're state party chairs, retired politicians, and Democratic insiders. They control 40% of the votes needed to win the nomination.3 The reason they exist: to make sure the party establishment approves of the nominee. But even some superdelegates have started questioning whether they should be the ones to make the final call: Donna Brazile, who ran Al Gore's presidential campaign and is neutral in the race, says the superdelegates "should reflect the will of the people." She threatened to quit her position within the Democratic Party if the superdelegates decide the primary outcome. And in a New York Times op-ed, Walter Mondale's former delegate counter writes: The superdelegates were never intended to be part of the dash from Iowa to Super Tuesday and beyond. They should resist the impulse and pressure to decide the nomination before the voters have had their say. The superdelegates could ignore the will of the voters and pick whichever nominee they want, embroiling the entire convention in an ugly fight. Superdelegates aren't used to hearing from concerned voters. If enough of us sign this petition, we can urge them to side with whichever candidate—Clinton or Obama—has the most support from voters. This is about democracy, pure and simple. Whoever you support, we can all agree the Democratic nominee should be decided by Democratic voters.

At Talk Left, Big Tent Democrat takes Moveon to task for a sub silentio pro-Obama position since its petition judges who's ahead by the number of delgates not by the number of primary votes. (As it turns out, by a slim margin, depending on how you count, slightly ahead now in the popular vote . If she wins Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania by large margins, she'll pull ahead further.
