Clinton campaign views on superdelegates

I can't believe I almost forgot this.
[Harold Ickes, Clinton campaign spokesman) confirmed that the Hillary campaign could still try to woo super-dels even if she lost the popular vote, with Michigan and Florida counted.
So let me get this straight: it's OK to get superdelegates to overrule the pledged delegates because she might still win the popular vote at the end of the day, but even if she doesn't, it's still OK to get superdelegates to overrule the pledged delegates. So why are we even arguing about pledged delegate vs. popular vote? Even the Clinton campaign now says that it doesn't matter.

Let's rehash, because this is totally underreported: Clinton is now saying that even if every single metric imaginable says that the primary voters prefer Obama to her, she will still attempt to get the party establishment to overturn those results. WOW.
