Superdelegates turn down Clinton's meeting request

NBC's First Read:

Clinton has asked several uncommitteds to come meet with her this evening at around 8 or 8:30, after votes on the housing bill now being considered on the House floor. Location TBD. I talked to three such members, who said that they are going to take a pass, simply because they have heard several times from both candidates personally over the course of the past week, and there is nothing more to be said. Another uncommitted said he was going to go out of a sense of courtesy.

Remember, uncommitted really isn't the right word. Undeclared is. Does anybody think that Jimmy Carter or Donna Brazile or Jim Clyburn are really uncommitted? Of course they support Obama. They just haven't declared themselves as such.
