If the super delegates felt that many of the votes for Obama where really cast by faux-democrats that are really McCain (republican) voters, then they could change.

Starfish there are feelings and there are facts.

Feelings are an excuse. Many of these super delegates have feelings of a thicker wallet thanks to the Clinton machine.

I have a "feeling" that if the super delegates rob Obama, there will be a lot of hard feelings directed at the Dems.

Obama is outspending Clinton on the amount of money he is sending to these superdelegates to convince them to change their mind.

I applaud these superdelegates who maintain the honor of their words and stand by their candidate.

Those who switch are just back stabbing politicians. If Lewis, a civil right leader, can stomp on a minority, a white woman, then it is clear that he has declare that this election is not about electing the right candidate, but it is all about race, it is all about electing a black man.

The republicans will be very happy because they don't have to worry too much about loosing the general election -- many democrats will not vote democrats anymore.

I am a white female more than sixty years old and I voted for Senator Obama. Senator Clinton is not fit to serve as president. Senator Obama is. Mrs. Clinton considers the senior citizens her supporters. I know many seniors who do not support Hillary. I believe Senator Obama is an honest young man. I believe Senator Clinton is not at all honest. I know she did not stand by the people of New York after 9/11 the only way she would meet with family members of the people killed in the Twin Towers was if television cameras were present

If Hillary Clinton wins by using the super delegates im going to get a list of their names and rally up a party of majorities in each state to get them voted out of office so if obama loses by super delegates they will lose their office by the power of those they betrayed by going against the will of the people.

I am watching this from the UK and am stunned about how the Democratic Party is tearing itself apart. "Divide and Rule" must be the Republican aspiraration today. I am a little behind on convention politics. Can a third candidate (say, rather obviously, VP Gore) emerge at the last minute as a unifier in August if this cannibalism continues?

Sure they can, but traditionally they haven't done well coming in on the last round.

Thanks for your comment Ian, it is always good to hear how this looks from somewhere other than here in the US.
