Clinton or Obama: Up to Super Delegates to Choose now or later May 6, 2008

…

Since March I’ve given up on seeing a clear winner emerge from the primaries. Recently I’ve noticed that they virtually stay tied in everything. Since Ohio, the voters have been split down the middle, but on and on the primary season continues. The democratic party is still split and the months go by.

Uncommitted Superdelegates: 223 out of a total of 796.

There are 5 states and Puerto Rico left to vote. 274 delegates total.

Obama has 1768 total delegates. 1516 pledged. 252 Superdelegates.

Clinton has 1,622 total delegates. 1356 pledged. 266 Superdelegates.

Last night Senator Obama won North Carolina and Senator Clinton won Indiana.

Will the Superdelegates make their choice now? Why wait any longer? They’re running out of reasons and their running out of time. Do they really want to give John McCain three more months of uncontested campaigning? Do they really want threes more months of negative campaigning between the candidates? Do they own stock in CNN or MSNBC? Why wait until the convention to chose a candidate?

Vote now, like the 90% of the rest of the country already has, and like the 100% of the country has already done in their minds. Then the Democratic party will have three months to lick its self-inflicted wounds, and create a strategy for one candidate to announce a running mate at the convention. Then have another three months to run against McCain and the Republican party.

Or wait and vote at the convention and waste three months on negative campaigning and watch John McCain running uncontested. The convention will go by also, with the Democratic party fired up about what? Just finding out that three months before the election they finally have a candidate…no chance to court the other side…there’s only three months before the election.

It’s time…
