As to the super- delegates don't forget that they're free to vote however they wish. They might choose to just "go with the flow" and bring their support behind Obama too.

well if they don't they'll be a lot of hoopla regards why they don't.......I am going to love watching Clinton try and impose her will on the super delegates she wined and dined in the 90’s in the Lincoln bedroom etc. while obama has a) greater “electability” and b) in all likely hood a marginal edge in elected delegates....and then there’s the black eye, no pun intended the party may wind up with regards disenfranchising the “brother”....for the white power broker struture extent.....

the whole super delegate thing is, imho not very democratic....jackson, hart other dem notables all fought it tooth and nail....


and now I am treated to listening to the granddaughter of Eisenhower telling us how she loves obama..reading her article I have so say, after 20 eyars in DC shes remarkably niave.
