With slight trepidation that I'm crossing the line from composed blogging to ranting... just one thing on the superdelegates and their 'smoke-filled room':
The prospect of a bunch of party elites nominating Hillary behind closed doors is outrageous, infuriating. If it were to happen, I would abstain in November and encourage others to do the same. I would take to the streets with placards and a megaphone.
If John McCain has to think about uniting his party behind him, he should consider a contribution to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Her winning the nomination would certainly do the trick.
More than one person has expressed the resonating sentiment to me that they fear the massive let down if Obama were to fail to make the nomination. It would make us feel foolish to have given in to the optimism that a visionary could actually overcome the establishment Goliath. Sometimes it's as if we were being jerked around because our hopes just seem so high. But Obama is capable, his policies are solid, and any doubts about him should be well dispersed by now.
