The New York Times provided readers with a really nifty piece of software that lets you figure ou
t what Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to win the nomination. Just slide the pointer and you'll get a good look. It allows you to choose from her best to her worst performance numbers in the campaign to date, and anywhere in between. The reality it shows is that it's a grim numbers game. And if Barack Obama shows up to the nominating convention with a higher number of delegates pledged through the primary process than Clinton does, it's rather unlikely that those superdelegates who remain on the fence will be willing to contravine the will of the voting public. No matter how much bloviating there is about winning, it still remains all about the numbers.
