If Obama gets just 1/2 of that, he only needs about 10 more superdelegates. He's also currently beating Clinton by over 190 delegates. I'm just tired of all of Clinton's smear campaign crap. Clinton didn't call fowl on suspending the delegates in Florida and Michigan until after the first few rounds of primaries. She found out they were suspended back in August, and didn't complain until January. I'm tired of seeing her stand by and try to legitimize stupid questions such as in one of the last debates.

The question was "why?" why were they trying to push Clinton out "for the unity of the party"? Obamabots were trying to push her out back in March. That was after two months of primary elections. And the same story is still going on now. No one will have 2025 (that's w/o Fla and Mich) needed to clinch the nomination. Since super's are free to change their mind at any time the only way to really secure their vote is ... to take it to convention in Denver. So until then talks of Hillary getting out for the unity of the party are irrelevant. OK, you need to see the video again.

So I really don't know what to make of this. If she wasn't actively trying to prove that she is more electable and that Obama is risky, I would give her the benefit of the doubt. But this sounds like another case of the "say questionable things and provoke a controversial reaction" game they played in SC. If Obama supporters complain, she'll say they're playing the race card like she did on meet the press before SC.
