It's pretty sad that we vote for someone primarily on popularity and not on what that person can do to benefit our nation for the better.

super delegates are one of the most undemocratic ideas of all time - and probably will be the reason why although hillary will probably lose the actual peoples vote, will still be nominated. currently hillary has 190 super delegate pledges, compaired to obamas 95. Also, bill clinton is a super delegate and has pledged support for his wife.

Primaries are another reason progressives stink. Good intentions pave the way to a system that runs on wealth.

Yes I now believe that sex should not be a factor, she stuck in there for a long time and I respect her for that. However unfortunately we now are stuck with either Obama or McCain.

Yes I have changed my views a little bit, however it was just the way I was raised, even the women in my family agree with the sex issue, and I was kind of upset with the whole election thing because nobody actually votes based on who is right for the job only who it talked most about in new media. However now that ron paul is out of the picture (of course) we're stuck with mccain or obama *sigh* well I definately am not going the mccain route.

I have a couple of questions: What is the purpose of the primaries/caucuses in electing the party nominee if the delegates at the DNC do the same? Is the DNC nomination a formality in preparation of the delegates nominating for the actual presidential election?
Also what is the purpose of getting votes from non voteholding territories like Samoa and "Democrats living abroad"??
Thank you to the knowledgeable who reply in advance, it has been years since I took government!

Thank you for the thoughtful questions. I would encourage you to post this question on the Convention 101 piece. It's a video we produced just this past week, so people with answers to your questions are most likely to see it! Thanks.

Just a note... some viewers are asking about the Republican side. Fireside Production is video blogging on events leading up to the Democratic National Convention here in Denver. That's why we aren't getting into the Republican side at this point. Thanks for all of the comments!
