1. It seems that Dean has tried to no avail. The SD's are holding out.

2. They're about to.
Most SDs have one overriding reason for choosing a candidate - they think they can gain power by doing so. Now that everyone knows there in no chance for Clinton to take the nomination they will begin jumping to Obama very quickly. That's what Obama's letter to the DNC was all about. He was saying now is the last chance to hop on board before it means nothing. This isn't the king of party to which you want to show up fashionably late.

Like I've been saying since last night, it's over. All of this fluff we're hearing from Hillary is just a prolonged ritual. She will continue to run until her demands are met. She will want her debt assumed (including her personal loans), a voice in picking the VP, and a spot in the administration that allows her to get out and talk to people (a springboard for the next election). Once she has as much as she feels she can get, especially the money, she will find a reason to bow out.
