Loving the political back and forth. Engage, educate and entertain.

It does not matter the wheres and whens. And whys of super delegates are irrelevant with a dwindling number of contests to go. But it is a nice historical discussion with great links.
What creatures SDs have become in the here and now is all that matters.

Much of the CW toss about has irritated myself and others no end. But the the majority of voters in both parties primaries have pulled the lever for the same thing. Change. That's the one constant throughout this cycle.
The real question is how deep? How deep does the feeling for change go in the face of a declining economy and stagnant foreign policy?
Now I not good at political physics but I'll guess the SD will tend toward the candidate whose has brought the most new voters and new revenue streams to the party. Who do you want coming to your district to help you win in 2012?
Yep, if I'm a SD I'd want Obama on the stump for me too.
Last Tuesday gave Hilary a strong case for Veep that's all, the math for the top spot is not there.

So you are Howard Dean? What do you propose?

Nothing.
"Shaddup" as Chance Langton used to say and work hard behind the scenes to get Hil and B-Rock to jointly proposed an equitable solution. Show off some of that working together/coordination that the US of A will benefit from with a dream ticket.
They have nothing to lose in both contests, they'll finish close enough to basically tie in the delegate tally.
And gain loads of goodwill and positive pump in FLA, MI, and the media.
Also throw a muzzle on the "Party Elders". Public "stop bickering " pronouncements add nothing and highlight the problem needlessly. Let the campaigns work toward the solution.
Pelosi, Reid, whoever else see themselves in the elder role need to stick to their own knitting.
They ain't running.

Suppose this is spitting into the wind but....
Forget the
Clinton's look at the "Big States Hilary Carries" strategery. It's flawed.
Tell me which large democratic state will abandon B-Rock if
Clinton is not the nominee?
NJ? MA or NY? CA will go Republican? Stop it. Which ever state or commonwealth went Demy last cycle is rock solid Demy now. Including PA, MI, and WI. Look at the
Missouri results while both Republican and Democratic primaries still in play. Democratic turnout high and Obama won. Close but won.
And since then.
35 to 45 percent of the Republicans were still coming out to vote against McCain in a race that'd been all but decided weeks ago.
Another observation: 40 or so percent of Democratic MI voters came out to vote for none of the above with just Hilary on the ticket.
Question remains, will an economic or international event happen that'll cause the momentum for change to become a turn back to an "experience" candidate.
