Super Delegates for Obama - 3 to 1
Dear Obama friends,
Senator Obama picked up 3 super delegates today to Senator Clinton 1
Alaska: Former Governor Tony Knowles has endorsed Obama (Add-on)He also may pcik up a second pledged state-wide because his share of state-wide delegates seems to have gone from 74.6% to 77%
Wyoming: Add-on Rep W. Patrick Goggles and has endorsed Senator Obama
Georgia: 2 Add-on were added
state Party Secretary Stephen Leeds has endorsed Senator Obama
Now surprisingly enough, Verna Cleveland has endorsed Senator Clinton
This is odd for several reasons,
Obama won Georgia with a large majority, and after what Senator Clinton said yesterday, it seems that some Super Delegates have decided
1/ still to support Senator Clinton2/ still to divide the party
Should SDs still support the Clinton campaign?
Finally, Senator Obama will add 3 more Super Delegates tomorrow from Hawaii

the way your phrased the headline I though Obama: -3 and Hillary: +1.
Anyway, I don't see a problem in remaining supers supporting either of the candidate as long as they get off their asses and give us a final tally. At this point, even by conservative estimates Obama should get 50-60% of the remaining super delegates- more than sufficient to declare victory by any measure.

This is wonderful and I hope there are a few every day or so, but it actually makes sense for the bulk of them to wait until after the contests of completed. If they don't, we'll have to hear HRC screeching that they somehow jumped in and "stole" her chance to win or whatever. And I've really heard just about all I can take of that sort of stuff. I'm sure she'll be complaining about something .... but after a while her listening audience will surely drift away.
White woman over 60 supporting OBAMA/BIDEN!! (Or Obama/anyone-but-HRC)

The number of super-delegates committing to Senator Obama will continue to trickle in day-by-day until the June 1 primary in Puerto Rico. Then, after seeing how many pledged delegates Senator Obama gains in that contest, some more superdelegates will commit to him over the next two days until he stands on the immediate threshold of 2,026 total delegates. Then, the voters of Montana and South Dakota will put Senator Obama over the finish line on June 3. After that, whatever number of super-delegates remain can do whatever they want and no one will give a damn, one way or another.
What about this obvious and transparent Karaoke/Kabuki dance have we not all figured out by now?

ok, off topic:
the red wings picked up another PP and SH goal!
total for the playoffs:
17 PP, 6 SH
and against
9 PP, 0 SH
a major reason they won the primary rounds, and a great way to start the finals (ge).

Sorry I used the - sign as opposed to the : sign. My apologies.
so tomorrow could 4 for Senator Obama to 0 for Senator Clinton, if he get an extra pledge delegate from Wyoming.
