NBC News superreporter cites a source “very close to the Obama campaign” who says the additional superdelegates are “ready to go public before too long.” Watch video from MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” above.

Go watch video. Terry looks worried!

[HD1200]

Were they ready to go before Rezko or did he buy them also?

[steve-b]

I’m just waiting for Hillary’s “I’M MELTING!!” moment. I suppose an ashtray throw on live TV is too much to hope for....

[Red Badger]

Then what’s holding them back? 900 FBI Files?..........

[mrmargaritaville]

QUICK! somebody hide the ashtrays.

No way Clinton will go away gracefully. We haven’t seen any real smear campagin yet. She will stick it out for ‘’ the people and the country’’. These people think like Tony Montana( the world is mine)

[Mr. Brightside]

Obama is waiting to make the announcement to take the wind out of Hillary’s sails if she makes some gains today.

“She may have won Ohio, but the Super Delegates are shifting toward me.”

I’m not sure why so many Republican/conservative types are so eager to see Obama go down in flames right now.
Let them nominate him first, then let’s expose all of his scandal and nonsense.
Conventional wisdom has been that ‘the queen’ would be the easier one to beat...not true. He will be exposed as the complete lightweight that he is during a general campaign. her scandal and nonsense has been played out already, and like it or not, the mainstream media isn’t interested in her scandals anymore.

I just saw the video and Terry DOES look worried.

I'm hoping for something more along these lines....

We know what a nagger Hillary is...

[cubreporter]

Didn’t you just LOVE that movie? I did AND....the music!!!

[cubreporter]

Common sense post.

[tobyhill]

Hillary will destroy the Rat party if this is true.

[TomGuy]

Then what’s holding them back?

Many are holding back, waiting. They don't want to commit too early and find themselves on the down side of a scorned-Clinton presidency.

When the actual numbers show that Clinton cannot win, the endorsements will flood in.

[jveritas]

I think Bill Richardson gave the warning last Sunday when he said that whoever comes out with a clear delegate lead after March 4th he should be the nominee. I think the democrat leadership will not allow a blood bath going for six weeks Pennsylvania primaries let alone having it goes all the way till the convention in late August. We shall see.

[BARLF]

Agree, agree, take her out now. Tend to B. Hussein Obama in the general.

[jveritas]

Obama and the Chicago political machine are also ready to go bloody with the Clintons.

Correct.

Clinton is like Al Gore - wooden, but solid.
Obama is like Dukakis/Carter - a liberal who doesnt realize how extreme he is.

We almost lost to Gore.

Exactly. Clinton knows she will never be closer to her own presidency. Only 2 stand in her way. She has been working toward this for 2 decades.

She knows if she loses the Dem nomination, she will probably never get another chance. Even in 2012 other competitors could elbow her out, because the Clinton Machine will have been substantially damaged in this 2008 loss.

This is it, for her.
