No. Superdelegates who 'change their mind' would be committing career suicide. Especially with an institutional superpower like Clinton. Remember how haunting the words 'flip flop' were in the last Presidential election?
Anyways with McCain running away with the GOP candidacy I'm not so certain how important it is that the good guys (Dems) win this one. I fear that an Obama White House would be a neutered Camelot, and a Hillery win would (if possible) make politics in the US even more partisan.
