Maybe. But this logic fails to take into consideration that many of those superdelegates will feel the shift in the D power base away from the Clintons toward Obama and the next generation. Many who are elected themselves will decide based on “what’s in it for me”.
As the mortician says, “Remains to be seen”
Good point. These delegates have no loyalty to the Clintons. The question is, do the Clintons have some leverage they could use to influence them? I think if the delegates see Obama as a lifesaver from the Clinton’s sinking ship, they’ll take Obama.
It seems to me that many of them seem to see this as freeing themselves from the stench of the Clinton machine.
