Endorsing one or the other heavily in order to hopefully speed this to an end?

2. I'm thinking it won't happen
Given today's results, even though Clinton only picked up 20 or so delegates with the Texas Caucus still not decided. There may be a slow trickle of delegates, but most are going to wait it out.

4. Hillary did NOT pick up a +20 delegates.



RI +3 for Hillary
VT +3 for Obama

OH +5 to +9 for Hillary

TX is going to be +1 to +4 for Obama.

Best case for Hillary... +5 delegates.

Worst case for Hillary... +1 delegates.

So much for the "big" win yesterday.

8. I think you are right
Your delegate counts may be off, but I doubt the supers will still come out today. But I hope I am wrong.

3. I don't think so.
If they come out today and endorsed Obama, it would look like they are throwing cold water on Hillary's celebration.

If they came out today and endorsed Hillary, it would look like they are piling on AND he is still the presumptive nominee of the party.

Hillary got a +0 to +4 max gain in the delegate race... and 369 delegates are no longer up for grabs. She won a few races, but the overall race is still very solidly in Obama's hands.

6. Agreed
I think your analysis is spot on

Most of them will play 'close to the vest' until the situation becomes clearer

On note: I expect them too.
I loathe super delegates
I want them to shut the f**k up untilthe voters of the states have decided
