Sen. Hillary Clinton's hopes for winning the Democratic presidential lie in her ability to twist arms in the "smoke-filled room" and convince superdelegates to switch to her. However, according to NBC News, Clinton hasn’t publicly announced the support of a new superdelegate since just
after the February 5 primaries. In fact, she's actually lost seven while Sen. Barack Obama has gained 47 new
superdelegates during this time.
Her only real hope now is to convince superdelegates that Obama is
completely unelectable. She needs big wins in Pennsylvania and North Carolina but also must make the case that Obama will ultimately lose to Sen. John McCain in November. That's why Obama took steps to get in front of two potentially damaging stories on Friday evening that each have the potential to undermine his candidacy.
Watch this race get even uglier in the next few weeks.

The problem with Hillary Clinton is that even if she wins all remaining primaries by a ratio of 55% to 45% (which is unlikely) she will still be 100+ delegates behind Obama. Her only hope of winning majority super delegates is to throw a lot of mud at Obama.
As I have said in my blog is that senior Democrats have to tell her to quit the race NOW and stop muddying the waters for the Democratic nominee in November.
