She has more superdelegates. Dem primaries are not winner take all. She is in this for the long term, and you had better not count her out. It is dangerous to underestimate her.

There’s a lot of talk about superdelegates, but they won’t stay on a sinking ship.

They’re people with their own political careers to watch out for.

I don’t think there’s a reasonable scenario under which they she loses the primaries and they actually support her.

The Super-delegates can change their minds and will. There aren’t tied to the hip with Hillary. If the Momentum goes with Obama then the those delegates will go with him.

She has more superdelegates.

Superdelegates do what the STATE party wants them to do, adn are selected on the basis that they will support that state’s preferred candidate. It is an insurance policy to prevent a catastrophe like a Ralph Nader suddenly coming from out of nowhere with a strong but relatively small loyal following (sound like anyone else we know?) and distorting the mainstream picture.

A) I am not so sure Obama’s support is so far out of the mainstream Democrat party or that his following is small.

B) The assumption that Hillary would be the choice of the state party apparatus’s, is not one that I would accept.
