Yeah it does include superdelegates, but they do make up a little more than 1/5 of the total delegates in this race. Moreover, Hillary's margin in superdelegates has increased as time has passed, not decreased. While I can't speak to individual delegates changing their position, the difference between Clinton and Obama has widened as more superdelegates have pledged to her. The point is that Hillary is a lock for the great majority of superdelegates and its just a political reality. For Obama to win he has to overcome that difference in the primaries which he is not doing as of yet. If the Obama camp can't admit that political truth and work to deal around it then they are in worse trouble than the recent state losses alone would indicate.
