Superdelegates - more

Obama picked up two superdelegates today, Brad Miller, NC Congressman, Rick Larson, Wa. Congressman, and an endorsement from former House whip (and Edwards campaign manager) David Bonior.

By most counts, that puts the superdelegate gap inside 10, meaning that, more than likely, Obama will pass Clinton in superdelegates very, very soon.

Also of interest, Obama is indirectly courting John Edwards SC pledged delegates. The rumor is that "a handful" of Edwards pledged delegates are thinking of moving to Obama, (if Edwards approves, I would assume.)

(Politico) Clinton is asking supers to commit to her "privately" so that she can get a sense of where they are. (Wouldn't they just tell both campaigns they're on board?)

(TPM) One Obama superdelegate counter says she knows they have support that hasn't declared.

And, The NYTimes reports on Clinton's worsening finances. Only $1+ million after Indiana.

  • Yeah, but that's a slower process, and how much does it really cost to campaign in WV?
