Today's Superdelegate Endorsements: 2+ for Obama (Updated)
Two Superdelegates have come out for Obama so far today:
Rep. Tom Allen of Maine
Dolly Strazar of Hawaii.
Obama has now surpassed Hillary in the Superdelegate count. Strazar marks Obama's net 23rd delegate since last week. West Virginia votes tomorrow and brings 27 pledged delegates to the count. With the past week's superdelegate endorsements, Obama has already erased any overall delegate pick-up Hillary may achieve tomorrow.
<blockquote>*** UPDATE *** Another super to announce
Idaho Democratic Party Chairman Keith Roark, currently uncommitted, will endorse a presidential candidate at a press conference in Boise at about 2 p.m. ET, the state party confirms. The party was mum on who he’d endorse, but at least one Idaho blog’s speculation is he’d be for Obama. Obama won the state’s caucus overwhelmingly, 80%-17%. Obama netted 12 delegates in the state, which the Obama campaign famously touted as a larger gain than Clinton got out of New Jersey. Clinton netted 11 out of the Garden State. </blockquote>
