The main things the Super delegates have to ponder right now...

[SoCalDem]

How badly do they want to get rid of the Clintons, as the "Royal Family" of the Democratic party?

How much will they enjoy an emboldened DLC?

In their individual districts HRC will NOT financially help their downticket candidates (she's not a sharer..and is heavily in debt)

Are they happy to "be rid" of all those "pesky African American" voters? I expect MANY of them to write in Obama's name , in a defiant gesture if she gets the nod..

Who will they replace them with?
...............redneck racists the Clintons wooed in PA, OH, IN, TX etc? (the ones who will vote R in Nov anyway)

..............religious nutsos of the "pinkie persuasion" (white people aren't really white anyway..we're pink)

.............beer-chugging, bowling, hunting , gunslinging, unemployed high school dropouts? (they probably vote R anyway and they won't be donating a lot of moolah)

Just exactly where will the "new voters" come from? Most of the people who support HRC, are probably not "brand new" voters..and sooner or later those old folks die off, so who comes along in the future to replace them?

How will they deal with the deflated sense of enthusiasm when the race is between an old white lady and an old white guy? Un-enthusiastic people don't send money..and sometimes they just stay home on election day too..

Can HRC beat McCain without the black vote? Can she do it without the independents who will vote McCain?

Can she do it without the young newcomers who make up a LARGE part of the "new voter base" dems have been bragging about?

Time will tell.. but same ole same ole is not anything to get all jazzed up about..

Can you see young people cutting class to go vote for one of these people?
