Hillary is taking this to a floor vote at the convention. Disagreements?

If most undecided superdelegates keep going to Obama, or even if supers put Obama over the top by early summer, she has one last shot:

A floor vote at the convention like Reagan/Ford in 1976. Reagan did it, against an incumbent from his own party. Of course, he was the insurgent, had the grass-roots fired up in '76, and Hillary doesn't fit that description. Reagan lost on the first ballot, but by a narrow margin. Any thoughts?
