The superdelegates have decided

The Politico has a piece that is likely to gain some attention (assuming we stop talking about Wright.)
Capitol Hill insiders say the battle for congressional superdelegates is over, and one Senate supporter of Barack Obama is hinting strongly that he has prevailed over Hillary Rodham Clinton.

While more than 80 Democrats in the House and Senate have yet to state their preferences in the race for the Democratic nomination, sources said Tuesday that most of them have already made up their minds and have told the campaigns where they stand.

Yeah. I'm not so sure I can guarantee Claire McCaskill's count, but, as I've said since Texas, it's nearly impossible to believe that all of these political insiders haven't already made up their minds.

The superdelegates have decided. They just don't want to pay the political cost of going on the record. So it continues......

(Later: I should probably couple into this that the superdelegates have some of their attention on Obama's huge donor list and his likely influential 50 state Democratic voter registration drive.)

  • Well, not only that.....

    There are bound to be hard feelings among any Clinton supporters if a super declares early, whereas doing it among the bunch on June 3 would be much less inflammatory.

  • The Clintons have a clear record of going after any supporter, particularly financial, of anyone who switches. They have stolen millions of dollars in donations in that manner.
