How will the Democratic nomination for president be decided? It won't be at the polls because the people are sending their party a decidedly mixed message.

The more educated like Obama; the less prefer Clinton. Blacks and college grads go for Barack; whites and Hispanics, at least those toward the lower end of the socio-economic scale, prefer Hillary.

The Democrats need both to recapture the White House and it can't happen unless this race ends well before the national convention this August in Denver. The super delegates hold the key.

This week, a Virginia super delegate, who you probably have never heard of, broke with the Clinton camp.

Jennifer McClellan is a member of the House of Delegates from the Richmond area. In February, she introduced Hillary Clinton during the state party's annual Jefferson-Jackson Day dinner in Richmond.

But after Indiana and North Carolina Tuesday, Jennifer switched to Obama, telling reporters that it's very unlikely we will have a different result in the remaining primaries and it's time to come together.

That may be wishful thinking and Republicans will say great.

Bt the reason the Democrats instituted super delegates in the 80s was for exactly this reason, for someone not bound to a particular hopeful to make an adult decision so the process could move on.

A lot of Americans are getting bored with this contest, the increasingly vacuous debates and 24-7 punditry.

Jennifer McClellan says let's move on to November so we can have a real debate on the major issues of the day.

She may be on to something.
