When a Pittsburgh reporter asked Clinton how many superdelegates had endorsed her in "recent weeks", she answered
I don't even keep track of it, I can't even tell you that figure.
Well, some people are keeping track. According to the Superdelegate Endorsement List at DemConWatch, exactly five superdelegates endorsed HRC in the entire month of March.
Things don't get any better if you stretch the definition of "recent weeks". According to a March 22 New York Times article:
Mr. Richardson is the 62nd superdelegate to endorse Mr. Obama since Feb. 5, compared with fewer than five who have moved into Mrs. Clinton’s column since then.

62 to 5 since Feb 5th? I would think every one of those five would be so important to her that she would find it impossible to forget them. One of them is John Murtha. Surely she can remember the guy who was standing next to her on the stage just last week.
That leaves only four that she doesn't "even keep track of." How can she not keep track of four people from the very group who represent her only hope of gaining the nomination? What is she, sleep-deprived?
She's lying, of course. Big surprise there. She knows exactly what the score is. But her campaign website hasn't listed delegate counts of any sort since before Super Tuesday. She and her staff are trying to hide just how badly she is doing in the only metric that counts, while waving their hands and making noises about the popular vote and "big states".
62-5.
Judging from the numbers, the superdelegates aren't falling for her okie-doke.
