DescriptionWASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign is arguing that she has regained enough momentum going into two crucial primaries to get a shot at the White House, but the all-important party superdelegates were falling into line behind front-running rival Barack Obama.

Despite the momentum building behind Clinton after her win in Pennsylvania and polls showing voters drifting in her direction, it still appeared mathematically impossible for her to overcome Obama's delegate lead for the party nomination.

In the past two months, Obama has whittled Clinton's superdelegate lead by half, a key gain for the Illinois senator because neither candidate can win the 2,025 delegates needed for nomination in the remaining nine state and territorial contests.
