SuperDay+27: Deadwood floats ...

THE "FAKE" NIGHT OF JUNE 3RD

As of Tuesday night, there is no way for Clinton to undo Obama's elected delegate lead. Yet, today there were only three supers for Obama. None from the delegate-rich state of Oregon, where Obama won by an 18% spread.

ANOTHER SUPER EMBARRASSES SELF

Not that Clinton ought not to have her gripes too. Here's one Kentucky super, who is "waiting" for ... Godot?

"It appears very difficult for her to win in the end," Beshear told the Herald-Leader Wednesday after speaking to a business group in Shelbyville. "But, obviously, it's still -- it's still possible."

Beshear, state Democratic Party Chairman Jennifer Moore and Vice Chairman Nathan Smith will serve as three of Kentucky's nine superdelegates at the Democratic National Convention in August.

Those three have been firmly uncommitted throughout the primary and all said Wednesday they would remain so at least through the final primaries in Puerto Rico on June 1 and South Dakota and Montana on June 3.

There are nine Edwards pledged delegates who have not confirmed that they will switch. I guess they are waiting for Godot too...

THE PARTY OF STUPID

Remind me of this day, if I ever get carried away calling the GOP the 'Party of Stupid'.

Of course, it is possible that the supers will be "managed" so that they all declare just enough and just in time, so it appears like the voters are making a "final decision" on an election night, even if they are not.

*Eyes roll*.

[Note for new readers: "SuperDay" is the day that supers should have realized that Hillary cannot win among elected delegates, so that the supers should declare themselves and we can stop having Bill Clinton going about campaigning against the Democratic nominee, for one thing and Hillary continuing the fraud on voters by not be truthful that the remaining votes count toward anything more than her margin of defeat among the elected delegates...]
