I Say

let the race continue on to the convention, and then maybe Democrats will wake the hell up and reject both candidates in favor of a far more electable one.

Unlikely, since the party has a death wish, but I can dream.

Note the Republicans, despite some squawking early on about John McCain, have mostly fallen into line now that they realize retaining the White House is firmly within their grasp.

The Democratic Party is between a rock and a hard place:

On the other hand, should Clinton succeed in claiming the nomination based on the support of superdelegates, under conditions where Obama retained the lead in delegates chosen in the primary contests, the likely result would be the alienation of substantial layers of younger voters who voted for Obama.


It's there to prevent another McGovern defeat. He had tons of young voters, and, like today, the Republicans tinkered with the primary process in order to get the easiest candidate for their standardbearer to beat.
