Debate: Super delegates and closing

Last question: How does each candidate convince super delegates that he/she is the one?

Hillary Clinton won this coin flip, and goes first:

“Were going to make everybody feel like they’re part of the American family again.” She is really campaigning here for the Middle Class. She also says she’s ready to be a strong commander-in-chief and touts endorsements of a number of military brass.

She adds, in what might be the only acknowledgement of the night that she is running behind, that she needs the voters of Pennsylvania to get to that place where she can really answer that question.

Barack Obama:

He’s riffing with his campaign themes: It’s a defining moment in our history — war, economic trouble, a people disillusioned. Obama says he began the campaign betting that the American people wanted a change and wanted to be a part of a change. He’s talking about his grass-roots efforts and his ability to draw people to the polls.

And that was that. Not much other sparring to close it out. And ABC’s Charlie Gibson asked for a round of applause.
