### Democratic National Convention, Superdelegate Rule Changes

- **Episode:** [1221: Biden Reset](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1221-biden-reset.md)

The New York Times reported that a vast majority of interviewed superdelegates are prepared to block Bernie Sanders at the convention if he fails to secure a majority. Current DNC rules, influenced by Sanders after the 2016 election, moved superdelegates to the second round of voting. This setup increases the likelihood of a brokered convention, a scenario not seen since the 1952 nomination of Adlai Stevenson.

Pat Buchanan, a former Nixon White House staffer, argues that the "Southern Strategy" is a historical libel. He asserts that Democrats like Woodrow Wilson and FDR were the ones who used racist tactics, while Nixon supported the Civil Rights Acts and desegregated the South. Buchanan claims the South moved to the GOP based on conservative convictions only after desegregation was achieved.

The Democratic Party has a history of nominating "intellectual" or "egghead" candidates, such as Adlai Stevenson and John Kerry, who are known for eloquent but ponderous speaking styles. Barack Obama is compared to these figures, with some questioning if his rhetorical style will wear thin with voters by the general election.
