Giffords guest of Clinton

As the race for superdelegates heats up, Hillary Clinton is focusing on a few key Congressional members who are still up for grabs. Each of the 796 superdelegates votes is worth about 10,000 of a regular individuals votes. You can quickly why the superdelegates are in such high demand.

One of those undecided and key superdelegates is AZ-8 Congresswomen Gabrielle Giffords. Giffords was among a select group who last week was invited to a small private reception with Hillary Clinton in Washington DC. Giffords is being courted by both Hillary and her supporters nationally and Governor Janet Napolitano, a Barack Obama supporter. Clinton has a strong case for the Arizona superdelegates as she handily won the state on Super Tuesday.
