Superdelegates, Take Notice

Barack Obama is a weakened candidate. Hillary Clinton would be a much tougher General election opponent to John McCain than Barack Obama. If Superdelegates make the nomination decision with their heart instead of their heads, they will rue the day. Obama can't win after the Reverend Wright spectacle. The Democratic Party would be "rolling the dice" as Bill Clinton prophetically calculated in January.

Hillary Clinton's 9 pont lead in a matchup against John McCain shows that she gained some momentum after her Pennsylvania win. In addition, The Reverend Wright Media Tour has significantly hurt Obama, despite the fact that he keeps trotting out two or three Superdelegates after every Hillary Clinton win, no doubt to stem the excitement and "bump" from her victories. Even with Obama's Pastor Dilemma, they keep coming out, as if that will make the problem go away. What is amazing is the Democratic Party seems to have forgotten that they have lost two Presidential elections when they were expected to win.

Hillary Clinton is now leading in Indiana again and has cut Obama's once formidable lead to 5% points. She has also taken the lead in the daily tracking polls, suggesting that Obama is losing support rapidly.
