Like it or not, the same rules that have Obama with an insurmountable pledged delegate lead also prevent him from winning without the superdelegates.

It's time for uncommitted superdelegates to stop their dithering, hop off the fence and officially bring this nominating process to an end.

Obama's candidacy has hit its low point. Yet there is no indication whatsoever that superdelegates are inching toward Clinton -- quite the contrary.
