That CBS News poll also contains a big warning for superdelegates

One of the more interesting questions in the new CBS poll concerns superdelegates.

Obama supporters were asked how they would react if superdelegates were to overturn the judgment of voters and give the nomination to Hillary Clinton.

36% said they would be angry, and 56% said they would be disappointed. 8% said they would be satisfied.

This is just more proof that if anyone thinks the superdelegates can get away with handing the nomination to Hillary Clinton is crazy. Clinton and her folks love to suggest that Obama is alienating the Democratic base, but even if that were true, we haven't seen anything like the drama that would unfold if superdelegates were to overturn the vote.
