Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday that he may have to push undecided superdelegates to make their decisions in the Democratic presidential race, if the contest stretches into June.
Reid said he would consider writing a joint letter with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) demanding that superdelegates make their endorsements public.
“The three of us, we may write a joint letter [to superdelegates],” said Reid. “We might do individual letters. We are in contact with each other.”
Reid’s comments suggest that the party’s top three officials are contemplating a high-level intervention if the primary season concludes in June without a nominee and many superdelegates still undecided.
I love that — a ‘high-level intervention.’ Because it is well and truly an addiction of Our Progressive Betters, an addiction to pandering, sexist, racist identity politics. Personally, as an amateur watcher of politics, I’m loving the heck out of this clown show. “We may do this, we may do that, we may do nothing,” says Dingy Harry. That national-level party hack Supreme Commmanders are this discombobulated is laughable.
As far as superdelegates, why would those Triple-AAA party hacks give up their spot in the limelight any earlier than they have to? And only a pinkish party would have named Delegates-Better-Than-Other-Delegates who took this long to figure out their unique levers of power. Tons of fun for the fans of smoky back rooms and bags of cash, a la Used Cars.

It’s kind of like poker. You’ve got to figure out what everybody’s holding and how much they’ll spend. You ride a winner to the end and get as much out of it as you can. You also don;t want to be left with nothing and holding nothing at the end. Great game.

The Dems never did deserve the title Democratic. This year they just got around to proving it.
