Why no supers for Obama today?

Why has the trickle of 3-5 supers declaring for Senator Obama - a trend that we've been seeing each day for weeks - why has that come to a stop? (The flow eased yesterday with 2 and stopped today with 0.)

I've seen posts that declared that we Obama supporters were frothing for a huge slam of supers in one fell swoop (remember when we heard that 50 supers were going to hold a press conference at once), but instead of that, how we now admire how Obama's team and supers wisely decided to play it brilliantly by having the supers declare a few at a time each day, to keep the momentum moving and to maintain higher visibility with each new day's count in each news cycle.

Now I suspect that the O-Team (an A-Team for sure) has requested the flow to stop, and is gathering up future declarations for an huge announcement in one fell swoop!

KA-BOOM!

A large swath of supers to put him past 2,025. Heck, maybe a large enough group to put him past 2,210 (tee hee hee)

on lots of days... perhaps people are waiting for something???

:eyes:

The likely explanation is that the superdelegates are giving Hillary some breathing room until June 3rd to get out of this thing graciously. They're doing her a huge favor, but you're free to gripe about it. :-)

Obama is instructing the supers who call him to "hold off" so that a huge bunch can all declare at once like a knock out punch! I thought that would be pretty exciting. Perhaps my OP was not clear enough?

That would alienate too many Hillary supporters (even though she deserves the humiliation).

I think Supers are getting their demands together for the candiates - rules of engagement. If it's going to convention, they hold the cards.

You're absolutely right, and I do feel strongly that the supers are just giving her some room. It's the right thing to do, and since we're at the endgame with only days left before the nomination procedure officially ends, they'll deliver when they're called upon to do so, if she decides she's going to Denver. :-)

But I'll take your reason at the #1 reason.

from DKos? I like the logo.

I've been part of the IL Women for Obama group for a few months now (as soon as I found out about it ;)).

Thank you :)

"presumptive" crown backstage, and has begun shifting the DNC into GE mode. They'll wait until the RBC and June 3rd primaries to be finished, and then end it cleanly and clearly.

super that pushes the count past 2,025?

Obama to asking her and her Clintonian DLC into the Executive Branch.

THIS IS VILE. I hope Obama and his advisers "stay strong."

NO MORE!

NOT. THIS. TIME. :nuke:

After the DNC R&B committee.

Then the Pelosi group will know for sure who has the majority.

but the explanations above (holiday weekend, slow news day, good weather, nobody wanting to be in the final group that pushes HRC out...) those are all plausible.

if they want.

30 superdelegates "just happened" to endorse in the same week... Edwards "just happened" to endorse the day after WV.

And yet you still can't see it. Very sad indeed.

If Democrats really had buyers' remorse about Obama, wouldn't she be leading the tracking polls?

  That's what I'd do. :evilgrin:

I think this may have something to do with it. ???????

So pundits Sunday will say "but Obama made up the Kentucky delegates lost to Hillary by gaining superdelegates the past five days."

That will allow him to reach 2,025 during the last primary.

It'll look better because the voters will have made the final decision, and not the Superdelegates.

After that there'll be a lot of switches and additional endorsements that will put it out of reach for Hillary no matter how FL and MI are counted.

except for the people that switch unexpectantly or people who are friends with the Clintons that don't want to have the talk.

There is alot of talking going on between the two campaigns that we will never know.
