If I were a SD for HC, I'd be declaring really fast right now! Here's why:
HC will be behind BO in pledged delegates going into Denver. It would be difficult to justify voting for her then. I would want to declare my support now so that my vote would be with the rest that will not be accused of overturning the will of the voters. So I am thinking, the remaining superdelegates are not so sure of HC. Get my drift?

1. Anyone Whose Arm Could Be Twisted Has Already Declared
and some of those have renegged, thanks to too much twisting!

2. True. The fewer last minute surprises, the less whining there will be
about the process being undemocratic. Same with Sen. Obama's SD supporters, the sooner they all declare, the better off the party will be.

4. Since the SD's seem to have given Hillarys 'big wins' a yawn by not announcing

5. Super delegates are free to vote their conscience
They do not have to fall in line with their state's results. (ie Ted kennedy) Caucus delegates, I believe, also have the same freedom to change their votes. It's anybody's race as of now.
