Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase

If she hasn't already quit, it's hard to envision Clinton continuing her unwinnable -- even with Florida and Michigan -- battle beyond June 4.

    @libertyson, econ(?)'s suggestion as i understood it

    was that the superdelegates would be kept (after all they are elected officials and DLC members who they can have if they wish) and they would vote on the NUMBER of total delegates FL and MI have. i suppose they'd allot them as they saw fit. they wouldn't vote their own number, just the number of the delegates. the state as a whole would lose delegate-votes so the DLC could punish them but they'd get elected officials to apportion the delegate votes they do have.
