The DNC can force her on the ticket but they can't force people to vote for her.

Here's a list of the super delegates. Click "State" in the header row to sort by State.

Eight of my state's 12 super delegates have already committed to Clinton, even though Bernie got 59% of the caucus vote.

The dem party will have no one but themselves to blame if we end up with a wacko in the White House.
