Slate's "Hillary Deathwatch" Has her head barely above water & sharks circling.

Superdelegates continue to trickle in for Barack Obama, and John Edwards says Clinton probably can't win. Polls continue to favor Clinton heavily in the next two primaries. But observers increasingly wonder, what's the point? Lacking inertia, Clinton dips two-tenths of a point to 2.1 percent.

Ever since Obama gained a solid lead in pledged delegates in the weeks after Super Tuesday, his supporters have leaked hints that he has won the private commitments of dozens of superdelegates, particularly in Congress. Every Wednesday morning after a primary, the media would await news of a major shift in superdelegate migratory patterns. It never came.
Instead, it appears that the supers are content arriving in twos and threes by the day, providing a steady stream of small-font headlines. Today, Obama snared three new endorsements, including one, Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey, who defected from Clinton's column. Clinton picked up the endorsement of Rep. Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, for a net total of 3-0 in Obama's favor.

In an interview on the Today show, John Edwards was generally complimentary of Obama and optimistic about his odds of beating McCain in the fall, though he declined to actually endorse. Edwards' influence is diminished now that both Carolinas have voted, but he could still give Obama a bump in favorable media.

3. I know! That is what I was thinking. Guess he is covering his
butt in case she does become the nominee OR he did not want us to figure out who he supports.

5. I'm not going to look, but I have to say
that sure doesn't sound funny to me.

(I'm an Obama supporter, btw). It sounds sort of sick.
