Hey all, I am stll a newbie so I don't know how to quote whole stories at a time, but this was a great article by Chuck Todd that I haven't seen posted anywhere that really explores how the media is keeping Clinton in this race. The article can be found at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...
I will just quote some of the juicy parts.
"At last count, Clinton had 253 superdelegates in her corner, not counting another dozen or so from Michigan and Florida.
But even including those folks, Clinton has fewer than 40 percent of superdelegates supporting her, and that's after more than a year of campaigning.
This is the wife of the former president, after all. Shouldn’t there be at least 400 party leaders who owe something to the Clintons on board?
