After getting trounced last night in the so-called Potomac primaries (Sweet Virgina, District of Columbus, and the State Where They Filmed the Wire), the buzz this morning on the political wires is that not only does Hillary Clinton appear to be fading fast, but she might not even make it to the convention floor for a showdown.
First, the Associated Press reports that superdelegates are already starting to reconsider standing strong for Clinton. "Their loyalty to the first couple is on shaky ground."
Next, the guy who ran Bill(ary)'s '92 upset win endorsed Obama today. And Hillary's deputy campaign manager quit, as well. AND the Governor of Puerto Rico endorsed Obama. This is crucial because PR goes last in the nomination process and Hillary is 10 points ahead there.
And... and... and. Well, we won't lay it on too thick. The point is: at what point does Hillary admit to herself that she cannot win and that staying in longer in the hopes of yet another comeback is only going to bring down the party?
