Time to end this. Ask your superdelegates to switch to Obama now. The Ferraro gambit needs to be answered, not with anger, but with cold, purposeful, action. And with a donation to Obama of 20.08.

Dear Sen. Mikulski,
I am writing to request that you, as a Super Delegate from a state that voted overwhelmingly for Sen. Barack Obama, to consider publicly changing your endorsement to him from Sen. Clinton. I understand that you endorsed her before the primary season even began but I believe the mood of the country has changed substantially since then and Mr. Obama has proven to be an admirable candidate worthy of the presidency.
Furthermore, I am most distressed by the tenor of the campaign that Sen. Clinton is currently waging. As she currently has steep mathematical odds to capture the nomination without overturning the will of the voters, the damaging attacks coming from her campaign only serve to divide the democratic party at a time when we most need unity. I was prompted to write to you today after seeing a candidate surrogate--in this case Geraldine Ferraro--make some truly outlandish racial comments against Mr. Obama. Having watched this long primary season with great enthusiasm, I have now reached the conclusion that no further good can come of this competition and the Clinton campaign's divisive tactics should no longer be endured nor, indeed, rewarded.
I hope by writing you will considering supporting the candidate that most reflects the will of the voters in the state of Maryland.
Thank you for your time and consideration of the matter.

Dear Dr. Dean,
I am asking you to endorse Sen. Barack Obama so we can move forward. Sen. Clinton's recent use of Geraldine Ferraro to appeal to our worst instincts. We need to end this part of the campaign for the good of the country.
Thank you for work on the 50 state project. Onward!
