Why does Hillary think she can still get the superdelegates after she endorsed McCain?

Yeah, I know the argument that it wasn't an endorsement. Whatever way you try to spin it, she clearly said several times that the Republican would be a better president than our presumptive nominee. That's an endorsement in my book.

So what makes her think that the superdelegates will give her the time of day after that? These are elected Democrats and party officials who put a high premium on party loyalty. How many of the fence-sitters does she think are going to cuddle up to her after those sorts of comments?

She's not campaigning for votes anymore, she's just trying to destroy Obama. She's risking the entire future of the party on the alter of her own ego.

2. Beause she didn't endorse him. Just like Obama didn't endorse Reagan or the Republicans as the

party if ideas.

3. The comments are a little different.

"Reagan changed politics" versus "I'd be a good Commander in Chief, McCain would be a good Commander in Chief, Obama wouldn't."
