Murtha, Brady, other Dems prod superdelegates in House to voice a choice

Brady prods superdelegates in House to voice a choice

Rep. Robert A. Brady (D., Pa.) is trying to cajole the largest single cache of undeclared Democratic superdelegates - members of Congress - to make their presidential choices public within a week of the final primaries June 3.

"We need an endgame; we need a timetable," Brady, who also is chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic Party and an undeclared superdelegate, said in an interview.

Yesterday, Brady and a group of other representatives circulated a "Dear Colleague" letter to House Democrats urging them to put their cards on the table.

The aim, he said, is to move the 57 undeclared members of Congress who are superdelegates to help end the battle between Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

3. The only thing I could think of, is that he want's to give the appreance of being

impartial. Once he commits he is a sort of defacto representative of one camp or the other.

4. Maybe it's one of those "Let's all say it at the same time--ONE TWO THREE!!!"

"Why didn't you GO??"

"Why didn't YOU go?"

"I was waiting for YOU!"

"I was waiting for YOUUUUUUU!!!"

5. Obama won Brady's district 116,908 to 57,866. He needs to be the first to put his money where his

mouth is.
