What If?

Eugene Robinson's ruminations on what sorts of questions Barack would be having to answer if roles were reversed.
What would the conventional wisdom say? That it was over, of course [Hillary's chances]. That Obama was toast. That staking everything on the March 4 primaries in Ohio and Texas was a starry-eyed hope, not a plan, and that it was time to smell the coffee.
My take is that he's probably right, but given that the superdelegates are valid voters in the nominating process, a last ditch effort to shift momentum before any of them have to make a choice probably makes some sense given that she's, arguably, the "establishment" candidate.
