Apparently she wasn't touched enough. On Wednesday morning, McClellan announced that she had switched her allegiance to Obama. "I think the time has come to support Senator Obama as the likely nominee," she said in a conference call with reporters. "Given what happened last night, it's very unlikely we will have a different result, and it is time to come together as a party and prepare for victory against John McCain in November."

She's not alone. In the 36 hours since Clinton lost the popular vote in North Carolina--and the expectations game in Indiana--a growing number of her supporters haven't been particularly, um, supportive. As McClellan told the Politico, "there are many of us who believe--regardless of who we endorsed--that if Sen. Obama goes into the convention with the most pledged delegates and the popular vote, and doesn't get the nomination, that could cause problems." On Wednesday, George McGovern--the former South Dakota senator and 1972 Democratic presidential nominee--jumped ship for Obama. Meanwhile, California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Clinton superdelegate, told the Los Angeles Times that although "I have great fondness and great respect for Sen. Clinton and I'm very loyal to her... I'd like to talk with her and get her view on the rest of the race and what the strategy is." Feinstein's reason? "I think the race is reaching the point now where there are negative dividends from it, in terms of strife within the party." When asked yesterday whether Clinton should stay in the race, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, another vocal Clinton backer, sounded equally glum. "It's her decision to make and I'll accept what decision she makes," he said.

And the hits keep coming today, with two additional pro-Clinton pols adding their voices to the chorus. In an interview with The Hill, Rep. Dale Kildee, a Clinton supporter from Michigan, said the New York senator should halt her campaign and carefully consider whether it makes sense to keep going. “I urge her to take the day off and think very seriously about doing what’s best for the country and best for the party,” said Kildee. “I got straight A’s in math." His Congressional colleague from Florida, Rep. Alcee Hastings, agreed--“It’s improbable to suggest she’d be at the top of the ticket"--and gave Obama "a big hug" this morning on the House floor. (Another Clinton superdelegate, Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York, asked him to sign the cover of today's New York Daily News, according to the Politico. Headline: "It's His Party.") Even some of Clinton's advisers are now "resigned to their candidate’s likely loss," according to the Wall Street Journal. "They have turned in favor of her bowing out for party unity, according to several who asked not to be named.”

Could this sudden flurry of high-profile supporters-turned-skeptics force Clinton from the race? Don't count on it. As we've already written, she's made something of a moral cause of letting the remaining states vote and finding a solution to the Florida and Michigan dispute--and she isn't exactly the type to let the naysayers get under her skin. One possible reason: her supporters may "find it easier to accept Obama as their nominee if they were satisfied that Clinton was not pressured to drop out and had exhausted every conceivable opportunity to make her case." So barring the biggest (and most inconceivable) superdelegate switcheroo of all--that is, Bubba, her hubby, the former president--we're still betting that Hillary will continue to campaign at least until the end of the month.

How "touched" she is by the current show of support is another story.
