America's Inertia

The trickle is turning into a massive flow. American democrats were pulling a balancing act with Clinton hanging on one arm and Obama the other. More and more people are jumping to Barack's side and pulling the nation in his direction. John Lewis, a Clinton supporter and prominent figure in the African American community, is now saying that as a super delegate he will likely vote for Barack Obama, so as not to act in conflict with the process of democracy.

As Josh Marshall points out, the argument of whether or not super delegates can legitimately counteract the votes of the American public, is an argument that will never fully sprout. About half of the supes are still uncommitted, and the only possible explanation for that is that they are waiting for the rest of America to firmly establish who their candidate is. Once it is undeniably obvious, they will not deny the rightful candidate of the nomination.

aka bye bye Hillary
