First I have to apologize, I am not sorry for Hillary Clinton. I am glad that the superdelegates have decided who they will endorse, even though they are waiting until the primaries are over. One more month and that is that. Senator Clinton has done nothing but tear our party apart with her Rovian tactics that have only one objective, to tear down Barack Obama. He has had to try ever-so-hard to rise above the mud she dishes at him while she continues unabated with her slash and burn campaign tactics (not to mention the new illegal one). Nevertheless, Senator Obama is gaining in super delegates (as well as pledged) but the crucial votes are coming in about a month's time.
From RawStory:
"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," Politico's Amie Parnes and Josephine Hearn report Wednesday. "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."
"The majority of superdelegates I've talked to are committed, but it is a matter of timing," Obama backer Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) told Parnes and Hearn. "They're just preferring to make their decision public after the primaries are over. ... They would like someone else to act for them before they talk about it in the cold light of day."
Asked which way the committed-but-unannounced superdelegates are leaning, McCaskill quipped: "James Brown would say, 'I Feel Good.'"
Now that is music to my ears.
