Obama's ULTIMATE superdelegate argument (why Hillary can't win)
is that he won't be Vice President. It's really that simple. Hillary's path to victory requires a superdelegate coup, but she would also need to have Obama on the ticket. Even if the superdelegates wanted to go her way, Obama just has to call their bluff and tell them he won't be 2nd on the ticket. Just say it in an eloquent way, like how he wouldn't be able to look his daughters in the face 10 years from now when they ask him why he didn't stand up to the Dem Party supers when they stole the presidency away from the first black President. Or some other excuse.

McCain's best path to victory would be Hillary winning by a superdelegate coup without Obama on the ticket. Just because Obama doesn't make his best superdelegate argument public doesn't mean that he won't make it in private. And that is why Hillary can't win the Dem nomination (along with the math).
