“and will almost certainly win the general since [non sequitur]“

Did you mean winning the nomination? He remains the leader.

I too find it annoying, and see it as a big lead up to a whole lot of nothing. Someone please wake me when it's over. I think you've pretty well summed it up Elrod.

I thought the superdelegates and party elders were there for a reason, not just to sit by as as the situation deteriorates. Right after he NC and Indiana, primaries, the remainng undeclared superdelegates should step up to the plate and declare their choice.

Every attack and negative ad going back and forth now will come back to haunt the Dems in the general election. The only way to stop those is to put an end to the rivalry.
Even now, how could Hillary work to support Obama, should he be the nominee?
Could she say with a straight face: “I didn't mean tit. He will answer the phone”?

The negativity has boxed both candidates into a position where they will have to fight against the GOP and also the echoes of primary accusations by each other.

This has got to stop.
