I found this little item from the Politico amusing. Perhaps I'm naive or maybe it's because I'm a Republican, but I cannot possibly imagine a joint letter from the feckless triumvirate of Reid, Pelosi, and Dean to send shudders down my spine.

Reid, Pelosi, Dean may intervene in nomination

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid  said Thursday that he may try to force undecided superdelegates to make their decisions in the Democratic presidential race if it stretches into June.

Reid said he would consider writing a joint letter with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) demanding that superdelegates make their endorsements public.

"The three of us, we may write a joint letter [to superdelegates]," said Reid. "We might do individual letters. We are in contact with each other."

Reid's comments suggest that the party's top three officials are contemplating a high-level intervention if the primary season concludes in June without a nominee and many superdelegates still undecided.

If I am a superdelegate, I'm thinking I'm sitting in the catbird seat. It seems any harm to my career that the three stooges might threaten, would be offset by delaying my commitment and making sure I'm riding the winning horse come election time.

You gotta love the pickle these guys have put themselves in by implementing this arcane superdelegate machination.
