2. And number 4 is a switch from Clinton TO Obama
So, Clinton has netted zero SDs so far today.

Obama wins a fourth superdelegate– a Virginia Assembly member who switched from Clinton’s camp.
Net gain: Obama 4, Clinton 0*
Obama: The chair of North Carolina’s Democratic Party, a North Carolina DNC member and a California DNC member sign on with the Illinois Senator.

4. Hillary needs to keep running, but she also needs to make clear Obama is the presumptive nominee
If she is forced out of this, or looks bad because of superdelegate defections, it will be that much harder to get the party where it needs to be for November. She owes it to her supporters to see this all through (I gave her money precisely because she's NOT a quitter) - but it must be acknowledged she cannot possibly win. She has an opportunity to start the healing process, and I would strongly urge her to do so.

10. I agree with you.
And she can limit the damage to the party and to herself by *suspending* her campaign some time in the next week.
