defends Hillary Clinton from McCain shill Tim Russert and does a good job:
What the media refuses to tell people is the superdelegates are NOT bound to either candidate; they can change their votes at the convention. So to put up a graphic including the superdelegates is completely and totally misleading.

I disagree. First of all, Russert is an equal-opportunity "gotcha" reporter and not really a shill for anybody. Secondly, the superdelegates have publicly committed one way or the other, and they should count. Those people should be held to their public commitments, just as anyone else in the public view should be. If they change their mind, they should do it publicly, not in some behind-the-scenes, arm-twisting kind of way. My biggest fear is that the Clintons will use such arm-twisting to steal the nomination after the elections are over. They can't possibly hope to persuade a widespread defection from the superdelegates, who are reflecting the will of the people. The people are about evenly split, so the superdelegates should be, too.
