Superdelegates will continue to move from Clinton to Obama in the coming days.
If there is one thing that smart people are, it is responsive to numbers. The superdelegates are quite aware of the reality of this race and will continue to defect from Clinton and more generally move toward Obama.

It's really pretty simple: They want to be with the winner. And the numbers show that Obama is going to win the nomination even without the self-fulfilling prophecy of it all. Joe Andrew's abandonment of Clinton is more a demonstration of Obama's momentum than a cause of it.

3. It's funny how the morons on TV can make so much noise and twist people's
sense of reality. But it never lasts.

Once the stupidity ends, the numbers are still there. And they always will be.

9. I stopped watching after last Tuesday. And of course with the Rev. Wright 24/7 for days on end,
it was just ridiculous. Do yourself a favor and turn it all off. You'll feel much better.

I even had to leave the DU for a while...until I found out what a friend the ignore button is :D

7. I think it'll be sooner. The press already gave Clinton way too much leeway
and after Indiana they'll put an end to this.

17. It's a shame that you lack the ability to declare by fiat that the elections in
Montana, South Dakota and Puerto Rico don't happen. Or the ability to remove Hillary from the ballot in those states. Or the ability to cancel the May 31 DNC meeting on FL and MI. Or the ability to force the SDs to vote a certain way.

The election is over when one of the candidates gets a majority of all delegates.

5. My hope is that they move in suffienct numbers (something like 80 or 90) so that
Obama goes over 2024 as a result of pledged delegates won in a state he wins.

That would be best for everyone, supers included.

So I look some big movement on the part of the supers prior to either May 20th or June 3rd.
