Owen just asked me what a 'superdelegate' is.

He's been watching primary season coverage with me, and I've been trying to simplify the process for the 4-year-old world. So far, he knows that there are Democrats and 'Repelicans', that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were both trying to be the Democratic nominee, and McCain is the Repelican nominee, and now Obama and McCain are going on the the 'big boss battle'* in November to be president.
He asked for an Obama shirt for his birthday.

* thank you, video games.

i was sure she was still gonna pull some ambiguous language not releasing her delegates and pull something at convention...

she's totally the kind to use cheat codes to unlock characters rather than playing the game through...

Superdelegates have a cape with a giant S on it. And they have the POWER OF UNACCOUNTABILITY.

My niece is obsessed with Obama. Obsessed!
