What was the big deal?

Hillary Clinton got another delegate, as Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley endorsed the New York Senator.

"Regardless of the outcome of the primary, Mrs. Clinton's energy, stamina, and resolve have changed the course of history for women seeking office, including the presidency," said Coakley.

Why am I playing this up? Why is my Journalistic Tongue planted firmly in my cheek? Mainly because Clinton has received so few superdelegates in the last two weeks that it deserves to be noted.

While Barack Obama routinely gets 3, 4, 5, 6 superdelegates Monday through Friday, Clinton is lucky to get one every three days or so, as he moves closer every day to the nomination.

This is another reason why people shake their heads here in Washington, D.C. when you talk about why Hillary Clinton hasn't called it a day as yet.

She has been going in reverse even after winning Pennsylvania, Indiana and West Virginia while losing North Carolina over the past five weeks.

Clinton will certainly talk about the delegates from Michigan and Florida today while she is in South Florida, but even if those delegations were seated on her terms, Obama would still be ahead.

Team Obama probably wants to just shut their eyes and wake up on the morning of June 4th, when all the primaries are over, imagining that Obama has finally locked up the nomination.

But after this long battle, how gracefully will she exit the stage? Will we have a final spasm of negativity, if not between the candidates, then maybe amongst their surrogates?

Of course, there's one person here that probably deserves a chunk of the blame - and that's Barack Obama himself.

He's had multiple opportunities to end this race outright, but just hasn't been able to close the deal. A few more votes in Indiana two weeks ago and this thing would have been over.

Instead, she always lives to fight another day. And how can you tell Hillary to get out of the race after winning by 41 points last week in West Virginia and by 35 points in Kentucky last night?

Obama better win two of the last three (Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota) or else we are going to be writing stories that he's "limping" his way to the Democratic nomination.

What a wacky race this has been.
