Ok, I'll bite.
How does she win the nomination? Exactly how she says she hopes she will -- that the superdelegates get "buyer's remorse" and vote her in.
You argue that this will alienate Obama's constituency and ensure a loss in November. That may happen. I argue, however, that those who get "alienated" and choose not to vote for her will be a portion of the electorate that didn't vote in the last elections anyway -- mostly young voters and independents. The african-americans will vote democrat because they know that when this party is in power they benefit. With them and the traditional Democratic Party base she can defeat McCain.
But that would be undemocratic!!! you argue. I refer you to a rant (and remember -- it was a rant) I posted in a different thread a long time ago:

It's the Hard Left's fault this whole thing happened. The Democratic Party should ignore them. They bring only trouble to the table. So what if it's "undemocratic"? It's winning the White House that counts -- second place doesn't.
