UPDATE: Reportedly 40 Clinton SuperDs are ready to jump ship, and have told her so. Only problem? They're saying they'll do it between now and the convention if she doesn't drop out. Between now AND THE CONVENTION? Are you people stupid or something? Boy oh boy, Hillary, we're really mad superdelegates, and if you don't pull out of the race, sometime, oh, before the election in November, we're gonna start dripping out our support for Obama, piecemeal, over such a long period of time that it doesn't really matter. Oooh, I bet she's quaking in her boots. You people are pathetic. If you've already threatened her privately, then you're dead to her, forever. Waiting another three months for her to destroy the party before you step in to save the party is, well, rather irrelevant. Not to mention, it hardly shows much loyalty to the guy who is going to be our nominee.

Eugene Robinson is an Associate Editor of the Washington Post. It's no longer just bloggers and Rachel Maddow who think that Hillary isn't stopping in two to three weeks. Here is what Robinson wrote today:
Clinton knows that even the disputed delegates she "won" in Florida and Michigan won't get her to the magic number she needs to win the nomination. Some commentators have speculated that she wants to have the votes counted simply so that she can semi-plausibly claim to have had more popular support than Obama, a distinction that would serve her well if she ran again in four or eight years. I say dream on; the Clintons don't do moral victories.Hillary is simply building her arsenal, building her grassroots anger, building her fundraisers' ire, while our party's leadership dawdles, thinking that they're simply giving her time to heal her emotional wounds. And by the time Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid actually catch on to what Hillary is really up to, it may be too late to win against McCain in the fall.
Hillary Clinton is after the White House, and if that means using the Florida and Michigan "issue" to tie the party in knots until the convention, so be it.
If that's not what party leaders want, they'd better do something. Because Clinton is going to keep moving forward.
