Last night I posted a long rumination on the current state of the Democratic race. In all of my maunderings, I neglected to mention another factor that is likely to play against Clinton's strategy of stringing things out to the convention in hopes that she'll win by relying on superdelegates and delegates from Florida and Michigan. Democrats are increasingly concerned that they will continue to fight while the Republicans coalesce around John McCain. The party decides its nominee first (in fact, if not in form) is said to have an advantage in the final campaign.
If Obama does well in Wisconsin tomorrow, and keeps it close in Texas and Ohio on March 4th--thus pretty well assuring that he will have the most elected delegates at the convention--pressure will build on superdelegates to move toward him so that the party can get beyond internecine battles and unite to win the White House in Novembe
