Hillary Should Stay in the Race
Doesn't make sense for Hillary to endorse Obama. She is WAY ahead of him in current polls of Electoral College results. Obama is slightly ahead of McCain, but Hillary is CLOBBERING McCain:
Obama 276, McCain 238.
Hillary 327, McCain 194.
It makes no sense whatsoever for Superdelegates to endorse Obama under these circumstances.
Additionally, no Superdelegate committments are FIRM until the convention.
Best path for Hillary: Lay low until the convention. Stand by as the Republicans begin to mercilessly pummel Obama. At the convention, if Obama is not doing better, Superdelegates will have no choice but to nominate her.
The nomination is entirely up to Superdelegates at this point. Plus the fact that even pledged delegates can change their minds. Obama did not object when a Hillary pledged delegate went over to Obama. It goes both ways.
Hillary would be INSANE to endorse Obama now, UNLESS he gives her the Vice Presidency. But most likely he's too stupid to do that.
