The game, she's over.

Obama pulls ahead of Clinton in superdelegates. Now there's no metric by which she's ahead except for her own wishful thinking.

Senator Barack Obama surged ahead of his rival, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the count of superdelegates on Friday, the first time since the outset of the race that Mrs. Clinton has lost the lead in one of her few remaining trump cards.

Mr. Obama racked up seven endorsements in the last 24 hours from superdelegates, the Democratic Party insiders who are granted autonomy to support whomever they wish at the convention in August. One, a New Jersey congressman, switched his allegiance away from Mrs. Clinton, allowing the Illinois senator to pull ahead of his opponent, according to the latest New York Times count.

If she doesn't pull out of the race now, and by now I mean soon, then I think it's time to really start to question her motives.
