Obama has won more states, delegates, and popular votes. Now that the superdelegates are lining up to support Obama. Bottom line, Obama appears more electable than Hillary Clinton.
Now, according to Associated Press, the Clinton campaign is "warning of damage to the party's chances in November if women -- who make up the majority of Democratic voters nationwide, but especially the older, white working-class women who've long formed the former first lady's base -- sense a mostly male party establishment is unfairly muscling Clinton out of the race."
Isn't Hillary Clinton's strategy to lure the delegates to her side and push Obama out of the race or at least catch up in delegate count? Now that she realizes that she cannot rely on old favors owed to her husband to line up delegates her campaign wants to say she is being pushed out of the race. I guess the strategy is only okay if it works in Clinton's favor. What a sore loser.
Senator Clinton can stay in until the hector has a puppy. That won't change the fact that more people want to see Barack Obama as the Democratic Presidential Candidate.

"The Democratic Party is blessed this year with two candidates with many excellent leadership qualities, and I believe each of them would be a strong president. I am endorsing Barack Obama today, because he has inspired an enthusiasm and idealism that we have not seen in this country in a long time," Klobuchar said in a statement issued by the Obama campaign.
