Every superdelegate counts at this point.  Obviously it doesn't do anything for Obama as far as election performance but it does bring him one delegate closer to officially ending this thing.

One can but hope. The superdelegates are effectively Hillary's last hope since it's virtually impossible for her to overtake Obama in the caucus/primary numbers.

The fact is this - for her to win the nomination, she has to undermine Obama so severely that his campaign is irretrievably damaged and the superdelegates decide she's the more electable candidate in a GE. Such a scenario would benefit her, would probably bring her into the White House, but in the long-run it would be nothing short of a disaster for the Democratic Party, mainly because of the rancour it would cause with the party grassroots. It would split the party right down the middle for the best part of a decade.
