But it essentially was impossible. The only way she was going to come out ahead was if Obama was found with a dead girl or live boy. Most anyone would have dropped out, but I guess they hoped the Wright scandal (which I credit the Clinton camp with reviving) would really get some legs.
I don't like the superdelegate thing either, but it was Hillary's only chance. She wanted to convince them to choose her because Obama was "unelectable" in the General Election, so they should override the popular vote. I'm also pissed that she signed an agreement that MI and FL wouldn't count, then turned and demanded they be counted because she broke the rules and campaigned in FL and left her name on the ballot in MI and thus "won" both states.
I wish there was a movement to eliminate the electoral college. I don't know why it was set up like that in the first place and I don't know why popular vote isn't the method to elect a president.
