[Disclaimer : I have endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States]

To paraphrase Bill Clinton's most famous line, "It's the math, stupid!.

After Barack Obama basically drew a tie with Hillary Clinton and diminished her lead on Super Tuesday, the New York State Senator's chances of winning the delegate count have dwindled exponentially. What was Ms. Clinton fatal flaw? She didn't have a strategy post-Super Tuesday. That allowed Barack Obama to capitalize on a string of wins across the country, raking in delegate after delegate.

Which is why even after her big win in Ohio, her razor thin popular vote in Texas (which came in with a loss in delegates) and her single-digit margin win in Pennsylvania, the delegate numbers just didn't add up. As you can see by Tim Russert's math, even if she got all the invalidated delegates from Michigan and Florida, she wouldn't have a majority of pledged delegates (delegates chosen by way of the voting results).

Enter the superdelegates : Hillary Clinton believes she can persuade the remaining uncommitted superdelegates to give her the nomination. Her reasons? If the DNC gives her all the votes casted in the rogue states of Michigan and Florida (elections that didn't have the other candidates on the ballot) then she's ahead of the popular vote. And if she is ahead of the popular vote, then that's proof enough for the superdelegates to give her the nomination.

Is that really a good enough reason to give her the nomination? And notice, I didn't even mention her comments about ... ahem .... having the majority of the votes of "hard working white Americans".

What do you think?
