“Backs Turn on Clinton”

While Hillary insists that her campaign has just taken on a little ice, the damage below the waterline is starting to show:

The tide turned against Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on Capitol Hill Wednesday, as even some of her supporters said she should consider ending her White House bid.

Some uncommitted Democratic superdelegates refused to meet with the beleaguered candidate when her campaign approached them in the hope of wooing them. Reps. Brad Miller (N.C.) and Lincoln Davis (Tenn.) said they were invited to meet Clinton but declined to attend.

But uncommitted superdelegates such as Miller say they now expect Obama to win the nomination.

The sense of inevitability led some Clinton backers to question her continued resistance. One of her most respected supporters, former Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, announced early Wednesday that he was switching his endorsement to Obama and said the time had come to unite the party.

  1. I just saw the USA interview with Hillary this morning and I see she has thrown out the race bait card against Obama again. She will not stop untill she is sure that Obama can’t win agaisnt McCrazy. Its time super delegates put a stop to this kind of crap.
