Super delegates are not pledged to either candidate. There are still many that are uncommitted. Even the one that are committed to Obama and Clinton can change there mind. &amp;nbsp;The next two months is a lifetime in a campaign. Its good for the party and it allows every state to participate. &amp;nbsp;If things go as the Obama supporters predict even he will not have the delegates needed to secure the nomination. Both camps are relying on the superdelegates and their role will be pivitol. If i was a superdelegate i would wonder why Obama couldnt close the deal in Ohio, Texas or Pennsylvania. We need to win in November. A brokered convention is just that...a brokered convention. &amp;nbsp;Look it up in your history books. Those superdelegates will make the decision for the party...Maybe they will decide on Al Gore as our best shot in 2008. &amp;nbsp;It could happen!</description></item><item><title>Pennsylvania results: What it all means</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/04/23/935824.aspx#936238</link><pubDate>Wed, 23 Apr 2008 14:00:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:936238</guid><dc:creator>Jill, Bay City, MI</dc:creator><description>We all know the democratic race this year is not a political one..
