I hear you, Rita, but if that is the case, why isn't it already a closed case? Why do you think these super-delegates are holding out, if it isn't for political gain?
Please, Please, Please Indiana....

I'm still confused as to what the role of the superdelagate is. Are they required to:
1. Vote how their constituents voted?
2. Vote for whoever is in the lead at a certain point in time? If so, when is that time determined?
3. Vote for whoever is most electable based on how the electoral college actually determines the Presidency?
4. Vote for what is best for the democratic party?
5. Vote for who they think will make the best President?
It's just all so ridiculous and now I see that Hillary has no intention of dropping out - she will fight to the bitter end

My answer would be "No" to all but #5. The same as any other voter in America.
"super-delegates" are free to support any candidate.
And that is how she is going to steal the nomination. I believe some pledged super delegates will change their mind when it gets to the convention. And there will be rioting in major cities across this country.
I love your interjections on the story. They crack me up and it is right up the alley of a vast right wing conspiracy. :scratch:
Obama is the nominee. No riots, none needed.

Obama Rollout Of Super-Dels Begins
By Eric Kleefeld - May 7, 2008, 2:46PM
The rollout begins.
The Obama camp is announcing some more super-delegate endorsements today, a first step in a process that they hope will end the nomination fight in a relatively short time.
The new super-dels are: DNC member Inola Henry of California, North Carolina party chair Jerry Meek, and North Carolina DNC member Jeanette Council, who'd first announced her support yesterday to a local newspaper.
This will bring Hillary's lead among super-delegates to less than 15.

It would be even more funny if I actually believe half of what I posted on here.

Hey, Hillary is assured of at least two superdelegate votes. I was looking at a list online. Both she and Bill are superdelegates.;-)
