Saturday's Superdelegate Activity: Obama +3, Clinton +1

avatar

From DemConWatch:

  • Former state Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum, an Obama supporter, has been selected as the add-on from South Carolina.
  • Maryland
    has chosen former Gov. Parris N. Glendening and former Lt. Gov.
    Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as its add-ons. Townsend is a Clinton
    supporter, and Glendening is backing Obama.
  • New Mexico State Party Chair Brian S. Colón endorses Obama.
  • Louisiana has chosen New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin as its add-on superdelegate. Nagin is uncommitted.
In other news, Guam's pledged delegates split 2-2. There are two special Congressional elections in Louisiana today; if the Democrats pick up either seat (one pickup seems quite possible), that would mean an additional LA superdelegate.

... or a total Obama +6, Clinton +2 (if you accept Obama's apparent 3-2 win among the 5 Guam supers).

Sorry folks, my bad.

"Chocolate City" Ray Nagin is undecided?

Obama +3, Clinton +1

A ratio of 3:1 on superdelegates is what Hillary needs to take the nomination away from Obama!!

Unfortunately she needs that ratio to go the other way around!!!

Clinton falls further behind unless she has 60%+ or more delegates in the remaining contests; the reason is a shrinking pool of delegates, pledged or super. In short she is as close to no chance as she can be as a 60%+ run of the table ain't in the cards.
