Clinton Deathwatch

Slate Magazine now gives Hillary Clinton a 4.2% chance of winning the Democratic nomination. Before last night's primaries, the "deathwatch" had her at 8.4%.

Quote: So, right now her shot at the nomination rests on one thing: Obama messing up big time. Barring this possibility—which certainly is a possibility, but it's out of Clinton's control—she has no arguments left. She may have the most experience; she may still be the best fighter for the middle class; she may be the stronger general election candidate against John McCain. But that's not enough to persuade superdelegates to vote against the candidate who won the pledged-delegate count and the popular vote
