This is a bad idea. But I like it. It makes the Hillary voters even more upset.

I don't think that they needed to set a deadline. The Super's have been crawling out of the woodwork and falling all overthemselves in their haste to declare for Obama.

On the other hand, I don't think Pelosi, Reed, or Dean have declared yet. Have they?

Why not? These three have made Americans miserable ever since we heard their names.

Add Obama and you have the superfecta of incompetency. Of course, the Republicans have obviously screwed up huge to get us to the point where these communists will be calling the shots.

"The voters have spoken," they said

But they didn't get to choose the nominee. More voters voted for Hillary. B. Husein Obama was chosen by the party hack super-delegates.

Selected, not elected!

“Selected, not elected!”

Wasn’t that their battle cry (rather whine) when Bush won in 2000?

The hypocrisy boomerang strikes again.

.....The evil trio of doom.....

They support a weak Obama from whom they will usurp the Presidential power. The Speaker will become the defacto leader. Pelosi will rule Obama

If I'm a superdelegate, and the current count has given the nomination to Obama, I'm asking myself "why should I commit?"

IOW, isn't the deal already sealed, per the party? So get on with the unity. There is NOTHING holding them back as of now, correct?

My vote, either way, can't make a difference in outcome.

What do the Rules say? Since the Democrats are such sticklers for rules, I am ceratin they will follow them. The rules must state when a super-delegate must declare his or her final vote.

So, we know Hillary has more guts than these three combined... but does she have the guts to laugh right in their faces? I think she does.

I don’t think these self-important nimrods understand how dangerous it is to try cornering a Clinton. If she does gain the upper hand (via a whitey tape becoming available, for example) everyone who opposed her is in deep, deep crap. I would love to see the look on Pelosi’s face were that to happen.

The Superdelegates will not vote until the Convention, no matter what Dean, Pelosi and Reid say. They can make whatever statements they want to make now, but nobody will be bound by them.

If Obama becomes suddenly radioactive for some reason yet to be discovered (or disclosed), the Superdelegates can vote for Mrs. Clinton instead.
