69 to -2

That's the number of Super Delegates since February 5th that have declared for Sen. Obama vs. Sen. Clinton in the Democratic primary races. Margaret Campbell (no relation), a state legislator from Montana added yesterday to this growing group and trend. With Obama gaining about 1 Super Delgate per day and Mrs. Clinton losing ground, the "come from behind, I'm more electable" plan to lure prized deleates away from voting for Barack Obama grows slimmer.

Add the firing of chief strategist Mark Penn yesterday for doing what PR executives should not do, play both sides of any issue, the inability of her attempts to make Reverend Wright's statements stick as belinging to Barack Obama and the most recent poll showing the two candidates dead even in a state Mrs. Clinton should win by 15-20 points... well, the fat lady isn't singing yet but she is warming up in the wings.

This opera is, thankfully, nearly over.
