How should the Democratic superdelegates make their decision?

In the aftermath of Pennsylvania this is becoming an increasingly big topic for the Dems. Sen. Clinton's argument for the superdelegates is "I'm more electable." Sen. Obama's argument doesn't give ground on electability, but, more important, it points out that he has the lead in delegates, states and votes.

Adding to the confusion, Dem Committee Chairman Howard Dean came forward this weekend and said the superdelegates should not worry about vote totals, they should choose the person they think is mot electable.

What are your thoughts?

The first thing the superdelegates should do is to throw Dean far from the train. And then they should hunker down and figure out who is electable. After that, they should act like a team and start seriously courting the voters who were in favor of whichever candidate does not get the nomination. How hard is all this? Answer: it's not at all hard to see what needs to be done, but it may be impossible to DO it given the egos involved.

And these two politicians should be running mates, even if they (and their advisers) have to be sedated. Let Kerry--okay, not Kerry, yawn,--let Edwards deliver the big speech.
