Superdelegates

Everyone's talking about superdelegates after this Bloomberg article this morning talking about Obama closing the gap among "superdelegates who are members of Congress or governors."

Superdelegates mean alot in a horserace analysis, but as these commitments are not binding in any way (really endorsements,) at this point they are more about creating and shaping perception.
Current per NBC: Superdelegates: Clinton leads 253-217

Since Super Tuesday, Obama is +47, Clinton is -7.
Since March 4, Obama is +6, Clinton is -1 (Spitzer).


(My bet is that one of these candidates eventually withdraws and the superdelegates vote as a unanimous bloc to "reunite the party.")
