Interesting article on the superdelegates in Ohio.
Realizing the likelihood that neither candidate will get the 50+1 they need in pledged delegates...the superdelegates begin to strategize...and form a coalition with economic policy objectives.

...yes its politco
This seems to change everything...or at least brings some of what is going on out into the open...which can't be a bad thing.
The apparent deal among Ohioans is the first evidence of superdelegates’ banding together and seeking concessions from the presidential candidates in return for votes at the convention
some of their objectives
"We have a laundry list of measures we think would be effective, some involving tax policy, some involving investment policy, intellectual property incentives to hold investments in this country," Kaptur said. "I’m hoping superdelegates [who] are uncommitted that have the economy as their major concern will gravitate to our group and use that power to gain additional attention."
Encouraging that the delegates want to use their superstatus to address and influence the platform...
But there are also hints in the article that the coalition may be unstable coalition...people will be responding to the local results and who knows what else...and of course the attempt to broaden beyond Ohio alluded to above will further stretch things...given the diverse interests of the states (e.g. Texas and Ohio on NAFTA)
