The superdelgaets didn't override anyone's votes. W.Va.'s PLEDGED delegates went to Gore. Superdelegates vot in addition to those and can go with whomever they want. In this case they went with the winner of the national vote total, Barack Obama.

The write-in canidate is a great option, however, it doesn't matter whom John Q Public votes for President; it's the SUPERDELEGATES decision to override our votes and elect whomever they decide to support.
