The Superdelegates Are Back In the News

April 20, 2008

Well they are back in the spotlight once again.  The Associated Press has an article today that argues in part:

Many of the Democratic superdelegates who are still undecided say the most important factor in their decision is simple — they just want a winner in November.

“The way the system is set up, the superdelegates are able to weigh in because we are the most experienced people in the party,” said Blake Johnson, an undecided superdelegate from Alaska. “We are the ones who have been part of the party the longest and keep it running on a day-to-day basis.”

Most undecided superdelegates surveyed said they hope the nomination is settled before the party’s convention. However, by more than a 2-to-1 margin, they said they oppose any formal mechanism, such as a separate primary or caucus, for the superdelegates to decide the nomination.

It doesn’t look like it is going to be over anytime soon and according to polls, the democratic party does not want it to be.  Obama would love to close this thing down now and claim his throne.  How do you think this will end?  I’m still a big Clinton supporter.
