WP: Since Feb. 5, Obama has gained 13 superdelegates while Clinton has lost 3

[usregimechange]

Since Feb. 5, Obama has gained 13 superdelegates while Clinton has lost three, according to calculations made by NBC Political Director -- and Fix friend -- Chuck Todd. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) and Christine "Roz" Samuels, a New Jersey superdelegate, have defected from Clinton to Obama while Rep. Tom Lantos (Calif.) passed away.

Clinton still retains a considerable lead -- 257 to 182, according to Todd -- among those superdelegates who have made their choice publi. But the trend in the last 10 days has to be troubling for her.

Assuming Clinton comes up short in Hawaii and Wisconsin on Tuesday, she will have not only lost 10 consecutive primaries or caucuses but will also have to endure two more weeks of coverage about Obama's building momentum and her slippage leading into the votes in Ohio and Texas (as well as Vermont and Rhode Island).

1. Maybe or maybe not. We'll have to see at the convention. Don't count your chickens....

2. If you are waiting until to convention to name our candidate, you might just as well

hand the prize to McCain.

There is only 9 weeks and a few day from the end of the DEM convention and election day in November.

The repuke machine will have the entire summer to mobilize their grass-roots workers while we are still 'back-biting' our potential nominees.

No, if we don't have a candidate by June 1st, just cue up the tune "the party is over"...
