 This morning, on "Good Morning America" (which I never watch), George Stephanopoulos apparently said this:
“More superdelegates will come out today for Barack Obama –they will come three, four, five at a time, and this nomination will be locked up.” Time.com
Wouldn't be surprised, but not holding my breath.

Hard for me to agree with George S. on much of anything but he is most likely right on this one.
If the Clinton machine further corrupts the democratic process, a backlash will occur. The new direction for the party that is taking place has Obama to thank as a catalyst, but the slow and sure growth of dissatisfaction all over the country is the prime mover. It has been building for a long time. If any superdelegates vote against the majority vote in their respective states, the rank and file, including the newcomers, will have 2 choices. A real house cleaning with the emergence of a new and more average Joe belief system and the necessary new leadership or just saying the hell with you and walk away in disgust.
For far too long we have had a 1 party system with 2 wings. The 40 year march towards an elite ruling class could not have occured without democrat party participation. I believe that a real positive change is underway and will not be stopped. We need more voices and a new attitude that this is our country. It is not the playground of a wealthy elite. This is not Europe nor Latin America----we all have a stake in this fight. It is the right fight and the right time.
