Well what did anyone expect
Bill Casey isn’t the real trouble for Clinton, except that he is a symptom of what may be about to happen. It is sort of the tragedy of the commons in reverse. Super delegates want to get as much political future out of this race as possible, but if they wait too long to jump to the winning side, they risk losing the political benefit of being a meaningful supporter. If Obama already had enough delegates, then the nest one to support him isn’t going to get much thanks in the form of an IOU. So as more super delegates go for Obama there may come a point when it becomes a landslide of no one wanting to be last.
Casey was going to remain neutral, of course, until the light just dawned and he had no choice. BS. His endorsement of Obama was foreseeable and obvious. He and his dad always hated the Clintons, and after the Pa primary Casey’s endorsement would not have near the political value it has now. Duh.
