The problem is that the supers were in shock after the 11 straight wins and they listened to Hillary when she set the goal post at Texas and Ohio. She did well in Ohio, and ok in Texas so she set the goalpost at Pennsylvania, she didn't exceed expectations in Pennsylvania but she didn't fail either. So, now they're just waiting for Obama to exceed expectations somewhere so they can come out already without feeling guilty.

Good Post....Never mind the who Clinton Campaign talking point crap about either the Supers know something.....The people should still decide. How dumb are the supers that dumb that they dont see whats at stake? So maddening, what have we learned about Obama other than Rovian smeer campaign results that Hillary is perfectly willing to exploit in her drive to somehow win. There is nother There. I can understand why Republican trolls to want this to continue, but Democrats at some point have to realize this is not good the longer it goes on. I know its hard shake the fake pundit debate that tries to comfort you everything will be allright. There is nothing there other than spin for his enemies.

Why would the SDs be waiting to endorse?

Clinton fares slightly better than Obama against John McCain in hypothetical matchups for the November election. Although both races are too close to call given the poll's margin of error, Clinton is running two points ahead of McCain, 47% to 45%, while Obama is running one point behind, 45% to 46%. -- Lydia Saad

Maybe the SDs know that there are no bullshit caucuses in November and that the more people that vote, the worse Obama does. See: Texas. Yeah, they know he has the lead in pledged delegates and they know he acquired it...ie winning caucuses and the exclusion of two large states' delegations.

Maybe some of those reasons figure into why the SDs are holding back.

Here's the problem. It's not just Hillary, it's her supporters, who have set the bar for an Obama victory ridiculously high but really believe that even Michigan should be counted and that every caucus state shouldn't.

If they give it to Obama after a loss, it'll look to them and to some regular folks who aren't paying close attention, like some inside-the-beltway power play and there really are a sizeable number of more right leaning Dems who this might over to the other side in November. Much better for them to do it after a few wins. Of course, Hillary's strategy right now is try and deny those wins.

Very well stated in my opinion

Wow, some reactionary posts here -- gratuitous blood-letting? Why is everyone so negative on HRC? She's entitled to -- and should -- stay in the race until Obama has his 2025. It sounds like some Obama supporters don't have much confidence in their candidate to cut his own path to the nomination; and if he can't what good is he as a president?
Odds-on, HRC might probably lose, but LET her lose.
The Democratic party will do just as much, if not more, damage to itself if it starts to strongarm her out of the race prematurely, without letting the process run its course. The way some bloggers talk, it seems they'd forego any election if one candidate was polling better than another. Others sound the "fear factor" of race riots if Obama doesn't win.
The primary race will be decided by the rules and if the Democratic Party plays its cards right, nobody is going to feel cheated by the process. Let's hope for that.

As for one of those that sound the Fear Factor, and yes I do believe that. Go ahead, take this away from Obama and you know....see what happens. It wont just be the Black people. It will be young people, and people who are upset because they understood what happened. Also, its not so much about riots, rather, you turn people away from the party they believed in.....So I say to the supers, Go ahead, play with fire if you want to!

These remaining "supers" are between "a rock and..."

Give it to Obama, but Hillary is so vindictive.

Give it to Hillary and they have created a race riot, such as we have not seen before.

But give it to Obama, and when he loses the GE, we are still faced with the second possibility.

He has said "our time has come", and it won't be given up easily.

What's a mother to do?

The DNC is already planning on seating
half the delegates from Florida and Michigan, and ALL the
super-delegates. They are meeting on May 31st to work out the
details. Also, if you count all votes, by registered voters, in certified primaries this year.....Hillary leads. The DNC can choose to throw out those votes, but that's not the same thing as saying they DON'T EXIST.
The super-delegates can use ANY criteria of their choosing regardless of math. Also, Obama has an actual weakness with the Democratic base, a fatal disconnect that could cost the Democrats the election. Hillary is behind in delegates....which means NOTHING outside of the our convoluted primary system. It has no direct relationship to her chances in the general election.....Obama's problems most certainly do. The super-delegates can't ignore the Democratic base, or the key swing states, because we can't win without them. And right now, Hillary is the stronger of the two candidates. She is tied with McCain in Florida, while Obama lags far behind.
And she leads McCain in Pennsylvania as well. If she won these
states, and/or Ohio where she is strong, she would secure the
nomination. I can't say with complete certainty who will win, but I can say this. The super-delegates can stop Hillary from
proceeding, but it's the voters that can stop Obama. Hillary will have an easier time winning over super-delegates than Obama will winning over women, seniors, working class whites and Reagan Democrats.
