Going after the enablers

John Aravosis and Joe Sudbay at AMERICAblog and Arianna Huffington at HuffPo are stepping up to the plate and targeting the undeclared superdelegates.

They are absolutely right: we have nobody to blame but the superdelegates who refuse to make a decision.

No matter how distasteful Hillary Clinton's antics may be, she is merely taking advantage of the opportunity they have provided. It was utterly predictable that she would do this, and the time has come for them to stop it.

Let's not forget that Barack Obama has already won a clear majority of pledged delegates. The people have already spoken. There are no more excuses for waiting. As Clinton supporter Paul Begala said:

"These superdelegates are super ratifiers. That's all they're going to be, that's all they should be by the way. Because I think they are an abomination against democracy."

Begala is right. It's time for superdelegates to release their stranglehold on this process. Let us move on.
