Heads I win, tails you lose
Democrats worried about the drawn-out nominating battle aren't the only ones frustrated that Utah Congressman Jim Matheson, a superdelegate, won't pick sides between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton already.
Now Republicans are calling on Matheson to get off the fence and say whom he supports so they can get down to the business of pummeling him for whichever choice he makes.
In a press release this weekend, the National Republican Congressional Committee got a
few licks in on Matheson over Obama's recent controversial remarks about how small-town Americans are bitter over the sucky economy and their distrust of Washington. And that's before Matheson has said who he supports.
The press release first calls on Matheson to stop "playing coy" and announce his pick. Then it immediately shifts gears and calls on him to denounce Obama's rhetoric and "defend traditional American values."
The only way Matheson is going to sidestep the NRCC's jibes, apparently, is to name John McCain as his guy.

I don't think it is too much to ask Matheson to make a decision. I know he likes to shadow box with everyone but stand up and pick someone Jim.
4 years ago he didn't even attend the Dem convention.
