There's also some ambiguity about Obama's declining electability, considering the North Carolina and Indiana primary results. But for the Obama-slanted demographics in North Carolina and Operation Chaos in Indiana, who knows what would have happened in those states?

But the main complication -- obviously -- is race. If the supers were to exercise their right to veto Obama as unelectable, they would be inviting an exodus of black voters that many fear could make the entire Democratic Party unelectable for the foreseeable future.

Regardless, Hillary still has every right to make her case to the supers, and she has strong arguments. Not only has the Obama candidacy proved itself to be a very risky proposition; Hillary has proved her mettle through this hotly contested ordeal.

Though I'm still as adamantly opposed to the Clintons politically as I've ever been, you have to give the devil her due. She began as the entitlement candidate -- kind of the Democrats' version of Bob Dole. But during the campaign, she was knocked all the way down to the curb yet pulled herself back up by her own bootstraps to be in contention again.

Against all odds, the infatuation of the media, the swooning of intoxicated Obama groupies, and the perpetual motion machine that is her annoying, gaffe-prone husband, she is still hanging in there. Her resiliency -- despite all her flaws -- is formidable, even if it springs from her lifelong obsession to acquire power.

Most party bosses and the media know Obama is seriously damaged and that it could get worse. But they're not about to abandon their phantom hope in his messiahship, especially not in favor of that saint turned demon hellbent on torpedoing their dreams. For that, they loathe her -- almost as much as they do the commander in chief of Operation Chaos.
