Apparently these reporters don’t know what superdelegates are and how they are already committed to HRC. I forgot about this aspect of the democrat nomination process (in place since the McGovern debacle) but there is a recent FR post about its relevance here. HRC has an ace up her sleeve yet to play. I doubt things will be wrapped up by Feb 5 quite as neatly as this article concludes.
Superdelegates will not buck a populus tide.

Hillary will be going for the brokered convention approach. Her super delegates will stop an Obama win and the RATS will be forced to accept Hillary as the nominee or else the Clinton machine destroys Obama.
You can damn well betcha on that (probably more than one ace). I still don't understand why Hillary hasn't put together the campaign structure that Bill had when he won - the "War Room", where you've got some of the most treacherous snakes in the country plotting every minute of your campaign, and a counter-attack to every attack that you sustain.
The fact that she isn't smart enough to mimic such a successful model tells me she's not really the world's smartest woman (or even a smart politician). As if I needed proof.
