Superdelegates Lack Courage

It has become blatantly clear this week that the Democratic superdelegates will never find themselves in a chapter of "Profiles in Courage."

What we hear in the press is that many are afraid to declare for a candidate even though the race is obviously over because they fear offending the supporters of either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. One even stated he would vote present on the first ballot of the convention and thought it would be fine if the nominating convention had as many as four nomination ballots like FDR's nomination.

What is so troubling is that many of these Democrats are members of Congress or in state government. How can the leaders of my Democratic Party lead if they can't make a decision?
