Dear Super Delegates,

The time has come for the Super Delegates and the elders of the Democratic Party to show some leadership and end this divisive Primary campaign. Hillary Clinton will not drop out and nobody in her inner circle will encourage her to do so. At this late stage in the game, she really has no incentive to abandon her campaign, especially following a narrow "victory" in Indiana. Conceding defeat would only disappoint her supporters and give some of her backers a sense of disenfranchisement.

Whether it is Clinton perseverance or stubbornness, it doesn't really matter, but the powers-that-be need to intervene for the well-being of the party and the nation. What is to be gained by continuing this process? The voters of West Virginia, Oregon, Puerto Rico, etc. will not determine the outcome of this Primary, but will costs the candidates many millions of dollars and more mud slinging. I hate to agree with Pat Buchanan, but he was correct in noting that continuing this infighting is counterproductive and he certainly has no loyalty to either candidate.

What is the purpose of the Super Delegates? I was under the impression that they were created so if the voters elected a candidate that wasn't viable, then the wise and politically astute leaders would override the people's ignorance and nominate a "better" candidate. Well, that rule certainly doesn't apply in this election based on national polls and the extended nature of the campaign vetting process. A Super Delegate that cannot commit to a candidate by now is either a coward or corrupt.

According to CNN, Obama needs 183 more delegates to wrap up the nomination and 274 Super Delegates remain uncommitted. If men and woman of honor and courage step up today, this long arduous Democratic circular firing squad can end now. Kudos to George McGovern for recognizing the obvious and showing his colleagues the path to victory. Now it's time for Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, John Edwards, Joe Biden, and the not-so-super delegates to follow suit.
