52. She can win. You should know this.
Michigan and Florida alone would give her the victory at this point in time if they were seated.

The superdelegates are going to decide this race. They have 800 votes and could easily decide it for either candidate regardless of what happens to Michigan and Florida. The pledged delegate counts will decide nothing since neither candidate can win the magic number of pledged delegates necessary to secure the nomination before the convention.

They're part of the system and part of the rules, and have been for over two decades. Obama subscribed to the rules when he declared his candidacy.

Calling for Clinton to drop out of this very tight race just before the Pennsylvania primary, which everyone expects her to win handily, IS INDEED an act of cowardice motivated by fear of the very real possibility that your candidate may not win in the end. It's also arrogant and childish. It's also undemocratic and unpatriotic.
