Another SD for Obama!! Today's SD Net Gain: Obama 5, Clinton 0

[TeamJordan23]

My prediction: Obama will be tied with Clinton in SD by May 6th

Net gain: Obama 5, Clinton 0*

Obama gets Texas DNC member John Patrick, citing his record on trade, fighting for working class.

Also expected to pick up three prominent Illinois supers — Mayor Daley, House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and Cook County Board President Todd Stroger — as the state finishes filling out its delegate slate.

And gets former DNC leader Joe Andrew after a defection from Clinton.

While Clinton is expected to get Connecticut AFL-CIO President John Olsen.

*Superdel Andrew leaves Clinton camp for Obama.

2. So wouldn't her net gain be -1?

The best part is: he cited her (McCain's) stupid gas holiday idea AND Rev. Wright as the reason for switching to Obama.

5. she got a Conn SD but lost Andrew. nm

7. Ah

OK

[Barack_America]

8. She did get an AFL-CIO guy today.

So I think it's 5 for Obama and a net of 0 for her. Which might make the deficit only 14 or so, I believe.

13. Looks like the ol' Tonya Harding Strategy is backfiring.

Just like it did on the real Tonya.

NGU.

3. Whoa! GOBAMA! nt

4. So he's closed the SD gap to 15?

If he wins NC and stays close in IN, it could be with single digits by this time next week--making it that much more difficult for Hillary to "seal a deal" with the superdelegates.

10. I actually think it might be 13 now.

Demconwatch switched Andrew and now has the deficit at 17.

But I think there were 3 extra SDs from IL today + the guy mentioned in this thread.

So that extra 4 should bring it down to 13.

15. The 3 from IL will first be official on monday, btw

6. Damn - I wonder how many will be endorsing come May 7

11. For every one Obama picks up, Clinton needs four.

[ClassWarrior]

18. Yet for every one Clinton picks up, Obama gets four.

:rofl:

NGU.

12. outstanding

[RiverStone]

14. Wow, 5-0 so far...

I heard Hil may be getting a couple as well.

But the SD's are saying to the electorate: We are letting the media whores define the man. Good on em!
