To listen to some of the discussion about the Democratic presidential contest these days, one would think that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton should have spent Easter weekend in Chappaqua, writing her withdrawal speech and preparing for her return to the Senate.
Adam Nagourney, writing about the Clinton superdelegate scenario and, just perhaps, the VandeiHei/Allen thesis about presidential race coverage.

I think the more important excerpt is this:
But [Clinton's chances of winning is] still not impossible. There remains at least one scenario where Mrs. Clinton could win. It is an increasingly unlikely one and one that could traumatize the Democratic Party. Still, it gives succor to her supporters, and presumably Mrs. Clinton herself, and is something to keep in mind watching the two of them head toward the endgame of their contest.
I fail to see how this is much different than Nagourney's own analysis last week, or the Politico piece. Clinton's not out because Obama hasn't reached 2024. But the only way she's going to get there is by throwing the kitchen sink and destroying Obama, not by making her own case. And in doing so, she will undoubtedly alienate many Obama supporters, voters she'd need in November.
