Hillary is where she is because she's wired in with the Democratic Party elite. Without "super" delegates she'd be even further behind Obama. This is because she doesn't have as much popular appeal as Obama. Perhaps she could still defeat McCain & Huckabee, but i don't think she's the strongest Democratic candidate. She's the most predictable candidate, which makes her more attractive to the status quo.
