Clinton campaign death watch dept (continued)

Among the superdelegates:

"Barack Obama all but erased Hillary Rodham Clinton's once-imposing lead among national convention superdelegates on Friday and won fresh labor backing as elements of the Democratic Party began coalescing around the Illinois senator for the fall campaign...two members of the Democratic National Committee from California announced they were supporting Obama. "The election is over, everybody knows that. Obama has won," said Vernon Watkins, one of the two."

John Edwards today:

"...former candidate John Edwards said Clinton has made a compelling case for her candidacy, but “I think it’s very hard for her now to make a compelling case for the math. I mean, I think that’s the reality of what she’s faced with. She knows that. … It’s just very hard to see how the math works.”
