The super delegates aren't like regular voters, they're all elected Democrats and almost exclusively folks dedicated to the party.  Whether Hillary or Barack takes home the victory in pledged delegates I'd be shocked if the super delegates did anything to swing it in the other direction.

Howard Dean, and many others I'm sure, are working very hard behind the scenes to make sure we don't end up with a brokered convention or worse.  I wouldn't be surprised to see the majority of super delegates go with the popular vote to show a united front from the party.  We saw tons of them going to Kerry even though he had the nomination locked up and as much as that election mattered it wasn't nearly as important as this one.  And I don't think anyone liked Kerry as a presidential candidate nearly as much as they like either Obama or Clinton.

The Democrats are about to clobber the republicans in November.  And unlike the republicans who sold off everything in our house, they're going to do something about fixing that leaky roof and the broken down car in the lawn.  So what if we end up with an extra kitchen sink or two?

INDEPENDANCE DAY: January 20, 2009!  I can't fucking wait!
