If super-delegates wanted to end this (none / 0) (#94)
by Cream City on Thu Mar 27, 2008 at 06:33:29 PM EST
they would, and they could -- by all committing right now.

You ought to think about why they don't -- and they won't.  Too many unknown unknowns with your candidate, including his delegate count.  It's the downside of the caucus exploitation strategy.

The caucus states must keep recaucusing, starting over at every stage, from now until June.  None of those local delegates is bound and can flip any time at the county and state levels, until the national delegates in those states finally are selected.

With the revelations of recent weeks about your candidate, a lot could change.  That campaign said that a massive number of super-delegates was going to declare for him a couple of weeks ago . . . but then the revelations began, and that became only a "rumor" . . . and the super-d commitments slowed to a trickle ever since.

They could end it now, but they don't, and they won't, because your candidate has issues still unresolved and perhaps still unknown.  It's not because of Clinton.  It's because of Obama that this race continues.  (And that's in addition to his inability to close it up three times now.)
