D.C. Superdelegate switches

[powergirl]

from Clinton to OBAMA. How many Obama committed SDs have switched to Clinton? I'm not being tacky, I'm just curious.

"Breaking News: Thomas Backs Obama
You heard it here first. Council member and newly elected superdelegate Harry Thomas Jr., initially a supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is announcing in minutes that he will cast his vote at the Democratic National Convention in Denver for Sen. Barack Obama.

"Thomas received more than 100 phone calls and e-mails from constituents who feared that he would use his power as a superdelegate to vote for Clinton despite the city's overwhelming support of Obama in the Potomac Primary.

"After meeting with the candidates and listening to my constituents, I have to honor the 83 percent who support Barack Obama," he said in an interview, referring to the results of the Democratic primary.

"Thomas will make the announcement at 10 p.m. at a debate watch party."

10. I noticed they have a blog widget now

I replaced that one from MyDD that was previously on my blog. DCW is more on top of things. I didn't trust MyDD much, since they are so anti-Obama, but previously, theirs was the only delegate tracker I could find.

15. I think this is an error by WaPo

If I'm not mistaken, this guy is an at-large pledged delegate, not a superdelegate.
