Yet another twist in the Democratic primary race; Howard Dean, chairman of the US Democratic National Committee, recently said:
“The Democratic party’s “superdelegates” have every right to overturn the popular vote and choose the candidate they believe would be best equipped to defeat John McCain in a general election.”
Sounds to me like Dean is giving the go ahead for the superdelegates to buck the elected delegates and put Hillary Clinton on the Democratic ticket. A few weeks ago I thought Clinton was staying in the race to weaken Obama for her own electoral run in 2112, but with all of Obama’s recent problems, and with Clinton’s working class support and lead in the popular vote, her case for sticking out this race is making sense.

She's not actually in the lead. You have to count Michigan and Florida in order to come to that conclusion.
Howard Dean is a fool if he thinks overturning the will of the people is a viable alternative for the superdelegates. People will be pissed one way or the other. At least if they go with Obama, the Clintonistas will just be sore losers, rather the victims of some seriously shady politics.
