Hillary Hoping For Delegate Defections

Ken Vogel reports that in a press conference before taking off from San Juan, Hillary Clinton reiterated Terry McAuliffe's suggestion that her campaign might court Obama's superdelegates.

"One thing about superdelegates is that they can change their minds," she said, adding that a superdelegate on board the plane had committed to her, switched to Obama and then back to her.
