There are still 300 or so superdelegates who remain uncommitted. And I imagine most people would tend to agree with this assessment:

Anybody who says past this point that this is good for the party or good for the nominee is a fool,” said (Jim) Jordan, the Democratic strategist, who is not affiliated with either campaign. The candidates, he said are “exhausted, they’re more likely to make mistakes, and they’re raising each other’s negatives.”

So, it’s a fair question to ask what the hell the superdelegates think they are waiting for. This puts it perfectly (though I would have said “insane” not “inane”):

The idea that in two weeks we’ll have another inconclusive primary, then another, then another, then another and then the superdelegates make up their mind is inane — everyone else who follows politics can decide.

At this point, every superdelegate surely knows whatever they need to know about the two candidates, their platform and their positions, their strengths and their weaknesses. It’s clear to everyone with an IQ greater than their age — or if you prefer, greater than George Bush‘s IQ — that Obama will end up with a small lead in terms of pledged delegates, and in terms of the popular vote. There’s really very little uncertainly about that. If 300 superdelegates are unable to make up their minds today between Clinton and Obama, then realistically what is going to happen in the next few weeks or the next few months to enable them to magically make up their minds then?

So the problem seems to be that 300 or so superdelegates are simply not willing, for whatever reason, to vote one way or the other. They want to keep sitting on the fence. So let’s just let them do that. Let’s just allow them to vote “present”, tally up the rest of the votes and declare this to be over. And get on with trying to win in November.
