A new column from Slate:
"Friday was not kind to Hillary Clinton. Based on Deathwatch's top-secret morbidity formula, Hillary tanked on four metrics today, reducing her chances of winning the nomination by 1.7 points to 10.3 percent.
The nastiest news for Clinton is in the polls. She has drifted eight points behind Obama in a national Gallup survey...
In Pennsylvania, she suffered a setback in her efforts to win endorsements and superdelegates when Sen. Bob Casey endorsed Obama even though he said he was staying neutral in the race. ...
Meanwhile, Sen. Patrick Leahy—an Obama supporter—called for Clinton's withdrawal yesterday ... adds another high-profile voice to the growing din that Clinton is doing more harm than good by sticking around. ...
Pressure from the top will likely push superdelegates to side with Obama or Clinton before August. Hillary's political clock is ticking."
