Liberty Reborn

The party elites in the Democratic Party are still trying to end the nomination fight before the convention:

WASHINGTON - Top Democratic leaders intend to push for a quick end to the battle for the presidential nomination when primaries are over next week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Thursday, adding that he, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and party chairman Howard Dean will urge uncommitted delegates to choose sides.

“By this time next week, it will all be over give or take a day,” Reid said of the marathon race between the front-running Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama is within 44 delegates of clinching the nomination, according to The Associated Press tally, and leads Clinton by roughly 200 delegates.

This is all well and good comrades. But getting the super delegates (duh duh duuuuuuhhhh!) to “commit” ahead of the convention means nothing. What is to stop them from changing their votes in the coming weeks? Or is Howard going to flex his muscle and keep that from happening?

The problem for you Democrats is that nothing will be settled until the vote at the convention regardless of what is said before it because the super delegates (duh duh duuuuuuhhhh!) are not required to vote the way they say today or that way like pledged delegates are.  So no matter what they say now they can always change their minds.
