62. Time for the SUPER DELEGATES
to put an end to her path of destruction. Now. Or, actually, let's say tomorrow night.

she cannot win by actual primary/caucus votes that abided by committee rules. why should she be rewarded any gains from these two states? Makes no sense for the other 48.

"Win at any cost" means she is willing to destroy the democratic party. Therefore, she must be destroyed politically. You do not go against the tide of history with good outcomes.

At this point, since she is trying to go around the will of primary voters, it makes no sense for the super delegates to wait until after the primaries to declare for Obama and put him over the top. By stopping this now, they will stop the implosion of the party. Surely they recognize that, down ticket, Democrats will not benefit from her move - a move that will cause massive amts. of democrats to choose to vote third party or otherwise.

Surely they recognize it is no benefit to the party for her to do this because her campaign is already financially shaky. Such a move will dry up any DNC contributions from the more than one million grassroots supporters who have donated to the Obama campaign.

Surely the DNC's instincts for survival are such they they will stop this NOW. At this point, I am counting on Dean to help end the madness that has become the Clinton campaign. The goal is to win, not for HER to win or no one else.
