Last week in an interview, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid declared it would be "easy" to settle the Democratic presidential race before the late summer convention. He said he had a conversation with DNC Chairman Howard Dean and noted "things were being done."
Today, we learn more about the Reid-Dean master plan to settle the race: They asked Democratic superdelegates to make up their minds by early July.
If that's it, Democrats should be worried about the lack of leadership in their party. In fact, a New York Times suggests Democratic insiders are concerned that Dean doesn't have the clout to successfully navigate a peaceful end to the primary race.
With Al Gore staying on the sidelines, it's clear there are no power brokers left in the Democratic party.

ok, yeah, lack of leadership. sure. but is it really a bad thing that there are no power brokers left in the democratic party? perhaps it's more of a blank slate, waiting for a new generation of leaders that won't roll over and play dead every time the republicans say 'boo'
