Do you think the superdelegates should look at the electoral vote when deciding the democratic nominee also?
We have to remember that the general election is about winning states, not the highest amount of votes. The electoral college really elects the president and I think the superdelegates need to look at the electoral vote before they pick the nominee.
Hillary has won the overall electoral vote excluding Michigan and Florida. 219 to Obamas 209. Once she takes Pennsylvania thats an additional 21 more electoral votes followed by more states that she may take such as West Virginia and Kentucky. No matter what happens Obama can’t catch her in the elctoral vote. Plus had Michigan and Florida counted then her total electoral vote would be 263 to Obama’s 209.
I think the superdelegates need to take this into consideration before choosing the nominee no matter what happens.

Yes, I think they should take that into consideration. And even though Michigan and Florida may not be counted in the primary, I think they need to take into consideration what the pulse of those two states would show.
