Is Howard Dean deciding the election?

I found this very interesting. Howard Dean is now calling on the superdelegates to make up their minds between now and July 1 to avoid a chaotic convention.

Think about what this means. This would mean that superdelegates make up their minds before any questions of Fla. and Michigan could be introduced at the convention, meaning that the superdelegates are "deciding" with Florida and Michigan out of the mix.

Isn't that pretty much Obama wins?

This statement by Dean is also notable because just yesterday on FoxNews, Clinton said this regarding Florida and Michigan, "We can always go to the convention -- that's what credentials fights are for."

(Coupled with his call for unity and civility, it feels like Dean's beginning to exert pressure to close this thing out.)

Dean also made the July 1 deadline on Good Morning America, and in an interview with the AP. He wants this everywhere and he wants it firm.
