1. MSNBC just mentioned an AP story related to this.
It said that several of Clinton's superdelegates flipped to Obama, and several more uncommitted superdelegates pledged for Obama.

Didn't see any mention of this story on MSNBC's web site yet...

6. Small suggestion: could you just post the net gain/loss in the title?
I was poring over this post for a few minutes before I realized there was not net change from yesterday (or if there was it is clear as mud).

Thanks! :hi:
