It is pretty well impossible for Clinton to overcome Obama's lead in delegates now. It is interesting to note that Clinton has not won a single super delegate since Super Tuesday (Feb 5th) and has actually seens a loss of super delegates. Her campaign is still holding fast to the idea that she won Texas, even though she lost the state from a delegate perspective. Clinton's only hope is to continue to split the party and hope that she, and the DLC, can twist enough arms to support her.
I also said a while ago that Republicans could skew the open primaries and slant the "popular" vote, in normally red States, to Clinton's favor. There is an obvious reason for this strategy, and the dittoheads know it from listening to Rush. Clinton's campaigning against Obama on the essentially exact same platform that McCain is running on, and all those things that Clinton claims superiority over Obama, McCain has over both in spades. This is why Obama is the only candidate for the Democratic party. The campaigns will be completely different, and the public will have a choice between two different perspectives. If its McCain versus Clinton, its two of the same with the very little to differentiate the two. In fact, McCain gets the nod IMO, as he has more of everything Clinton claims to have on the experience side of the fence. The best thing that could happen right now is for Clinton to go away, because she doesn't stand a hope based on the game she's playing against Obama. If she somehow happens to defeat Obama, she walks right into the lion's den, where McCain uses every single position she used to defeat Obama, to defeat Clinton. This is why the Republicans are sporting a woody for Clinton, and why they are coming out in droves to support the woman they vilfied for years.
