Well, that's not really fair, though. Because it's very unlikely Obama will hit the magic number of 2024 just on elected delegates. It's going to come down to the superdelegates, where Clinton's support has been very very strong for years, though it's obviously fallen off dramatically since Super Tuesday.
She's basically hoping that her claim (which she has retracted, then claimed again) that Obama is unelectable, or at least the weaker candidate against McCain, will scare Supers into voting for her at the convention. That hasn't been working, and her insistence on doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results has many people questioning her sanity.
Want to hear surreal, this morning I heard the following words uttered on my local "we play everything" station: "This is former president Bill Clinton, and you're listening to the Wicker Show on 98.7 Simon!" It's official. The world has lost its mind.
