Reply #3: Cali, I'm with you on this, except I hope it ends sooner.

One thing many people seem to forget is that the primaries will STILL be held. And, I'm sure Obama will continue to engage with people in the remaining states so keep things going for November. In the same way that the Republicans keep having their primaries as well--we don't hear them complaining about their voices not being heard (of course, I don't frequent their sites, but still...).

If I were a superdelegate, I would be looking not only at the issues (the candidates are close on the issues, anyway), but also who makes the best case for winning the "hearts and minds" of the country at large. As her numbers have gone down, Hillary has not shown GRACE UNDER FIRE, which is critical for rebuilding the country and its image around the world. She's already ticked off Gordon Brown and the Bosnians, and her staffer who started the NAFTA meddling created a mini-crisis for the Canadians. AND she is still only a candidate!! Are we supposed to believe that being the President she will suddenly develop talents we have not yet seen from her?

So I hope the SDs take a good look at the two candidates and come off the fence!
