We all knew it, but Hillary Clinton's advisers this morning proved the point -- they're kind of old-school when it comes to technology.

Hit By PowerPoint: Clinton advisers pinged around 800 superdelegates with a PowerPoint presentation about her electability on Friday.

In trying to persuade superdelegates of her superior merits as the Democrats' presidential nominee, Clinton's advisers this morning resorted to using yes, a PowerPoint presentation (available here: HRC_Pitch.ppt.)

The presentation was e-mailed to nearly 800 superdelegates and featured pictures, graphs and a couple of pie-charts.

The argument: Clinton is a superior candidate than Barack Obama because she's won in several Republican-leaning congressional districts.

The Friday morning presentation was accompanied by an open letter from 16 members of congress urging the undeclared superdelegates to consider that Clinton won the key battleground states of Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, as well as the rural and suburban vote.

But perhaps it's just as well. The blue-collar down-with-the-working-man Clinton camp wouldn't want to be accused of being part of the radical latte-sipping , Daily Kos liberal set by using Apple's Keynote presentation software instead. ( via TheAtlantic.com)

Update: The presentation apparently didn't sway the nine superdelegates that Obama picked up on Friday (including Ed  Espinoza, aka on the web as "Mr. Super.")

But Clinton did receive the endorsement of Rep. Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, who by virtue of being an elected official in Congress, is a superdelegate.
