Let's hope the undeclared superdelegates quit triangulating and commit this next week. STOP THE DRAMA - ENDORSE OBAMA!

1. Yep
They need to intervene or go to CODA meetings and get some understanding of the role of enablers and how to stop playing that role.

3. They need to vote their consciences.
What's all this name calling about?

4. Nope, it's Hillary's fault
She lost in FEbruary and she's been holding the Democratic PArty hostage ever since.

6. It appears to be a 'slow drip' strategy.
Intended to convince Clinton to bow out gracefully on her own rather than being chased out screaming. It isn't working. She will not quit.

7. Allow me to disagree
The split in the party is due to the one side's supporters calling for the candidate that is behind to drop out before the race is over.

10. I think most are already in the bag for Obama
He has most likely asked them to hold off until June 3. I believe we will see him roll out enough SD's to clinch the nom with Montana's or South Dakota's delegates, then the rest will follow.

12. I think that you're right. Obama will win in both Montana and South Dakota.
Obama wants to end the primary campaign with a clear majority of delegates from the primaries. That way nobody will be able to say that he won on a technicality.

13. The DNC should have put an ending date on primaries, just like
they put a starting date. Hold your primary after May 1 and it won't count.

Then it would have been over by now.

I can't blame the supers for waiting for people to vote.

14. Well, partly them, partly the Clintons. We now know the Clintons are bribing and strongarming
the superdelegates. Some are maybe holding out for more money.
