NEWS: Mondale worried about super-delegate vote

Walter Mondale and Professor Larry Jacobs are interviewed in this story about super-delegates and their role in picking the democratic presidential nominee.

Political science Professor Larry Jacobs paints a worst-case scenario if super-delegates make a controversial decision.

"The Democratic Party is in a real pickle. One of the worst moments in Democratic Party history was in 1968. You had riots and the convention didn't have a whole lot of legitimacy. The question in 2008 is, are we going to be back in 1968 and with that sort of meltdown?"
