Clinton Supers Starting to Sour
NBC’s Matthew Berger:
At a time when Sen. Hillary Clinton is increasingly relying on superdelegates to vault her to the Democratic Party’s nomination, a handful of undecided and pledged superdelegates are coming forward to say her campaign’s tactics in recent weeks are doing more harm than good.
Doesn’t sound like supers are buying the continually refined rationales behind why they should support Clinton over the leading Obama:
“Periodically, over the last couple of weeks, you will see a news story or get something from the campaign, and you’ll go, ‘How stupid do you think I am?” one uncommitted superdelegate said. “All of us watch television all the time, read the newspapers. We all play with the little charts online too. We know it is virtually impossible.”
I’m not sure if you can hear that, but I do believe the fat lady is clearing her throat.
