I think "the rest of the Democratic Party" is probably not yet "exhausted from the process." They don't live and breathe this stuff like many of us do. Too busy working and trying to get throught life to pay THAT much attention.
I'm most concerned about neither candidate winning enough primary/caucus decided delegates and having the decision go to the super delegates.
THAT just seems unfair and un-democratic.
I don't mind straight people as long as they act gay in public.

Non-political junkies might not breathe politics the way we do. But what they have breathed up to now, it's been plenty.
As for superdelegates, I'm pretty convinced the rest of them will flow to whoever is ahead among pledged delegates. And I don't think it will remain close to the end. Either Obama rolls through February and closes it out with the scenario I laid out above, or Hillary pulls some upsets, Obama fumbles the debates, and Hillary pulls out sizable victories in Ohio and Texas. At that point she'll have the momentum to Pennsylvania and he may consider dropping out even before then.
What I don't think will happen is Obama rolling off a bunch of big victories and then Hillary turning the tide back in OH and TX, setting a up a showdown in PA, followed by more close primaries in IN, KY, NC, OR and elsewhere. I just don't think voters will stay on the fence that long.
