POLITICAL COMMENTARY

If I was a member of the Hillary Clinton campaign, I would spend the next few days convincing superdelegates that Hillary can win in swing states and swing counties.

All Clinton has to do is convince the remaining uncommitted superdelegates that she can win in Florida, New Mexico or Michigan in addition to the Democratic strong holds. To a Hillary supporter like myself, it seems clear cut.

Barack Obama is losing in areas where John Kerry won, and he isn't picking up support in swing states or even swing counties.

In the general election, it all comes down to the Electoral College. Mr. Obama can bring out tons of voters in college towns, but that won't do anything in swing states.

The Democratic Party needs Hillary Clinton. I hope the superdelegates just realize that!
