This Saturday is when the Rules Committee of the Democratic National Committee will meet to determine what to do with the Florida and Michigan delegations. That, and the outcome of next week's final (at last) primaries should provide the final pieces for the as-yet undeclared "superdelegates." If, as expected, the steady trickle of these supers toward Obama becomes more of a stream now that "all the votes have been counted," Obama should shortly thereafter be able to claim a majority of ALL delegates (he already has a majority of pledged delegates, and will continue to, no matter how Florida and Michigan are decided). Then, what ephemeral new rationale will HRC have to remain in the race? We shudder to think, since it's becoming clear that magical (apocalyptic?) thinking is all she has to fall back on.
In the meantime, check out Harold Meyerson's op/ed in today's WaPo on Clinton's posture toward the seating of the two miscreant delegations.
