That Swishing Sound You Hear...

Is Hillary's Campaign Going Down The Drain

"Little more than five months ago, on the eve of the primary season, Clinton led 169-63 in superdelegates.

In an interview with National Public Radio, former candidate John Edwards said Clinton has made a compelling case for her candidacy, but “I think it’s very hard for her now to make a compelling case for the math. I mean, I think that’s the reality of what she’s faced with. She knows that. … It’s just very hard to see how the math works.”

Obama’s endorsements from superdelegates have picked up sharply since Tuesday, when he soundly defeated Clinton in North Carolina’s primary and held her to a narrow victory in Indiana. The momentum in his direction reflects a growing sense among Democratic leaders that his nomination is inevitable.

Obama also picked up the endorsement of the influential American Federation of Government Employees union on Friday.

“Our people, I think, recognize the enthusiasm and vitality behind Senator Obama’s campaign,” AFGE President John Gage said.

Gage, a previously uncommitted superdelegate, said he too was personally endorsing Obama.

Clinton spokesman Jay Carson said the campaign was keeping its chin up.

“We have strong support from a number of superdelegates, he has strong support from a number of superdelegates. And we believe as do our supporters that she would be the best candidate against (John) McCain and the best president on day one,” he said. “There’s still three weeks left in these contests. We think things can change. These numbers can shift at any point.”

Clinton pledged to fight to the end.

“Of course I’m going to keep going. I’m going to keep going because you keep going,” she told a Central Point, Ore., crowd Friday.

The Clinton campaign is still lobbying superdelegates, and according to aides has a plan in place to aggressively court them, via direct mail, television spots and public rallies."

She of all people should understand the thought process behind the democrat party selection of candidates, but somewhere along the line her massive ego and sense of entitlement got in the way.

Now, B. Hussein Obama didn't come fresh out of nowhere. He was a key speaker at the democrat convention of 2004 and from that moment on loons the country over were calling on him to run. Back then even the Clintons were saying nice things about him because they had to, and waited far too long before treating him as a worthy adversary. Remember now, the people who like him are the same ones who believe Algore because, to paraphrase Marshall McLuen, the messenger is the message when it comes to democrats as they don't care WHAT you say as long as you say it in a way that makes them feel important. Obama doesn't have even one plan that doesn't revolve around a bromide and little else, so Hillary looking to best him on better mousetraps was never going to work.

At times it seems as if she's the one whose been sitting in the back row and not paying attention.
