Both ABC News and the New York Times report today on their web sites that Senator Barack Obama leads in the number of superdelegates who have stated they support his candidacy.

Senator Obama now leads by every conceiveable measure.

It now is arithmetically impossible for her to win more states.

She would have to pull in 77% of remaining "pledged" or "elected" delegates to pass Senator Obama in that category. Her largest margin even in the popular vote to date in any state was her 70% margin in Arkansas. The next two largest wins were 58% in Rhode Island and 57% in her adoptive state of New York. Not even in West Virginia is she approaching 77%. So while not yet arithmetically impossible, it is logically a lost cause.

Senator Obama passed Senator Clinton in Congressional support this week as well, with several members of Congress declaring their intentions on both sides but one fork a trickle and the other a healthy stream.

Thus we lay to rest this, the final claim, that Senator Hillary Clinton enjoyed the support of more superdelegates. She has seen her margin in this area dwindle from about 100 in January to about 60 on Super Tuesday, to single digits or even a deficit today. She would have to find a way to stem the tide in this last bastion of dominance to be able to claim even this measure of preferance; among voters or among her peers. That simply is not going to happen.

Coupled with her increasingly large campaign debt and the ample fuel she is adding to the Republican arsenal for the general election by continuing to question Senator Obama's fitness for the Oval Office, these final barriers in the convention pathway would make your average politician swallow hard and cry uncle. Apparently, Senator Clinton's parents had no brothers. To her increasingly great discredit, she apparently does not know any uncles.

Except Uncle Sam, Hillary. Do it for him.
