1. Obama got 7 more superdelegates while Hillary did not - congrats!

5. Who are those 7?

I heard about Gregoire.

7. I think one of them was the mayor of Omaha.

I don't know about the other 5.

[Renew Deal]

8. I doubt he's a superdelegate.

Not to denigrate the good mayor.

2. I saw a good discussion on Dan Abrahms last night dealing with Super

delegates: all of them agree to vote for whomever has the most delegates when the last primary/caucus has been held. You know, kind of what we thought was going to happen until we learned about the super delegate check against the riff-raff. That is, to correct our mistake if the will of the people is deemed wrong.

6. I'm encouraged by the trend I've seen thus far...

Of uncommitted superdelegates aligning themselves with the popular vote in their state (i.e. Iowa's governor).

That's how it should be. If you feel strongly about working with a candidate, then go ahead and endorse before the primary. But, after your constituents have spoken, don't try to drown out their voices.

That's my opinion anyway.

10. that's a good one too. I think that is Barbara Boxer's opinion.

3. does that count include Gregoire? If not it's +71

[flpoljunkie]

4. Apparently not. The number last night was +79 and today it has remained at +72--so far.
