Our Fearful Leaders

I don't really care to take the time to trace back the history of the Super Delegate in the Democratic presidential primary process. I find it a foolish, undemocratic (lil' d) process. What is clear is that about 1/3 of the super delegates are still unable to make a decision. It seems to me that there are 2 possible explanations.

First, the remaining uncommitteds are holding out in an attempt to glean favors from the candidates. Essentially, trying to sell their vote. In effect, acting like lobbyists. In exchange for helping a candidate get elected they get something they want.

Second, they are too scared to actually want to change the out come of the election. But at this point they have to. There are not enough pledged delegates left to throw the election to either Clinton or Obama. The uncommitted supers will decide this election. But it appears some of them are too scared to do the job. It appears they don't really want the responsibility but wanted the prestige.
