One Man, One Vote

-
The American form of Democracy has been in a state of evolution since the country was established. In the not so distant past you could not vote unless you were a property owner. And women and blacks were not allowed to vote.

These glaring problems have finally been corrected, but it looks to me like we still have a ways to go.

In the presidential election process it seems that the voters do not necessarily get to make the choice after all. For example, Al Gore got substantially more votes than Bush did. This fact is not in dispute by anyone.
-
Now we are all learning about super delegates and even delegates from the election process who are changing their allegiances and their votes. So it is indeed very possible that the candidate who the people vote for in the primary election may not end up being the one which is on the ballot in the general election.

One almost expects this sort of back room politics from the Republican party, but seeing these sorts of anti-democratic games being played openly in the Democratic party is not encouraging.
