It's time for leaders to lead in the Democratic party. Superdelegates should stand up and pick their candidate. Most will pick Senator Obama, and most of them already know that they will. Moreover, superdelegates should act this week. May 31st is when the DNC rules committee meets to work on the issue of seating the Florida and Michigan superdelegates. If current undecided superdelegates remain undeclared and the outcome of the primary process remains unclear, this will give the Obama camp every reason to fight hard against an unfair ex post facto seating decision that ignores the previous rules and favors Senator Clinton. However, if enough superdelegates move this week behind Obama, he can safely go into this meeting and be exceedingly generous and gracious. The goal could be to in the end either seat everybody along the lines of the popular vote (assuming the non-Clinton votes go to Obama in MI - as they should) or at least seat a higher percentage of delegates than the Republicans agreed to seat in penalizing those states in their contest (i.e. something greater than 50%). The larger goal is to neutralize any argument Republicans can use to say that Democrats ripped off their voters in dealing with this problem. Superdelegates should see that they have it in their power to make a big difference in the general election result by endorsing this week. Those who are arguing that they want to wait until all the primaries are done are being penny wise, pound foolish. As much as we care about them, the voters in Puerto Rico, Montana, and South Dakota will not play as big a role in the general election as those in Michigan and Florida will.
