Fancy that.

Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein in the New York Times...
... superdelegates, sensitive to the implications of internecine battles, are more likely to try to transcend emotions to find a reasonable outcome that enhances the party’s chances of winning an election. The superdelegates do not unite to block the candidate with the strongest support from voters; they have always cast a majority of their votes for the candidate who won a majority or plurality of votes in the primaries.
So the most active of the party activists, and those with the most at stake in Democratic ballot success, are likely to, as they have before, do the best thing for the Party, which which has invariably been to reflect the will of the various electorates via their various processes.

The PLEO crisis is artificial. A con. As in concocted.

There is no problem, and despite media hysteria and campaign spin, there's no reason to expect a problem to develop. Why do you imagine that most of the PLEOs continue to occupy the 'undecided' column? There are only two choices, after all. What are they waiting for?

Us.
