2008 Floppy Dicks

Speaking before a crowd of about a hundred Democrats at a fundraiser yesterday, U.S. Rep. Norm Dicks (WA-06) reportedly said that if Hillary Clinton wins “big” in today’s Pennsylvania primary, he believes the nominating contest will go all the way to the convention, but… if she does not win big—and given the current polling he has no expectation that she will—there would be no way the math could work for her, and he’d flip his endorsement to Barack Obama in order to help end the contest sooner rather than later.
Maria? Patty? Ron?
He's not alone. Almost all of the remaining undeclared superdelegates, and a good portion of the declared ones as well, are going to go for the popular vote and delegate leader soon. That's not going to be Clinton, even if she wins 70-30 in PA today.
Expect them to switch, most likely at a rate of one a week - so that they get maximum return for switching in the local media and donor cycles.
I was at this event and this has been reported totally inaccurately. Dicks did dwell on the race but he made not comment about switching to Obama.
