SUPER-DELEGATES: WE ARE NOT BOUND BY DELEGATE COUNT

The majority of 100 undecided super-delegates surveyed by the Associated Press do not feel bound by which Democratic candidate holds the majority of pledged delegates, the Associated Press is reporting.

Rather, the super-delegates reported that the most important factor in their decision will be who can win the November general election.

"I think it's really important that we keep our eye on the prize, and the prize is the win in November," said Gail Rasmussen, an undecided super-delegate from Oregon.

Obama has been arguing for months that the super-delegates would be overturning the will of the voters if they don't nominate the candidate who has won the most pledged delegates. He has a 164-delegate lead in that category. Clinton, meanwhile, has argued that super-delegates should exercise independent judgment.

It would appear that Clinton is winning that argument.

Of course, the former first lady still has to pull off a commanding win in Pennsylvania in order to give her argument convincing force.
