why couldn't Hillary close the deal???
Wasn't she the chosen one in 2007 and right up until Iowa?

Didn't she lead the money race during that same time period?

I thought her campaign assumed this would be wrapped up by super Tuesday. What happened? How come she didn't close the deal?

4. She hasn't been able to close the deal, starting on Super Tuesday
That's when she was SUPPOSED to wrap it up initially ...

5. It's the question I keep asking every time I hear ...
the pundits jibber-jabbering: "Why can't Obama close the deal?"

Why, I wonder, have they never asked that of Hillary--she is even farther from sealing the deal than he is.
If this is the Clinton campaign's argument to super-delegates, then the super-delegates must ask themselves equally why Hillary can't seem to manage to seal the deal.

It's a competitive contest.
