I actually agree with this.
It’s crazy that we’ve gone from Indiana being the jump ball and NC being Obama territory, to the possibility of a sweep, back to Indiana being a jump ball going for Hillary and Obama winning NC by less than 15 points and that being enough to knock Clinton out.
But then, if we were being rational about it all, Wisconsin and the 11 primary win streak ought to have closed it all off…

Things have changed in the perception game. Clinton had the chance to make a big break and she failed.
The numbers game hasn’t changed though, and isn’t going to change. But that has been the case for quite some time now; Clinton can only win by pulling in a substantial majority of the supers. Obama can only win by pulling in a somewhat smaller number of supers.
That’s why I don’t see Clinton leaving the race before the convention. She’s been aiming for a win via super delegates for a while now, and although a setback, Tuesday’s results don’t really alter her strategy.
