Fineman: Hillary can only win by using Super Delegates
"Virtually impossible for her to go to the convention with more pledged delegates".

3. Per MSNBC, she will have to win TX, OH and PA with at least 56% or she's done.
It's quite a formidable task and I doubt she can do it. The Guiliani strategy.

4. Fineman does have high level Party contacts
I wouldnt be surprised if he was giving Clinton a warning on their behalf that she might need to consider an exit strategy.

5. If she does that, it could be the end of the Democratic party. Seriously, the place would burn down.

7. The majority of superdelegates are still not committed.
And even the committed ones can change. The reason Hillary has more is because she led early. That will all change once Obama is the clear front runner and stays there. Super delegates are not going to make a winner out of the candidate with fewer pledged delegates. It will not happen. This has to be the red herring of the 2008 primaries.
