New SDs for Obama, today
Edited on Thu May-08-08 02:49 PM by anigbrowl
Jean Lemire Hahlman of Montana endorses Obama - says he does just fine with white voters, thank you

Florida SuperDelegate Dan Gelber (whose vote may or may not count) endorses Obama

Others may be on the way...

"The lawmakers who met with Obama before his floor visit included several who are already committed to him and undeclared superdelegates Dan Boren of Oklahoma, Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, Charlie Melancon of Louisiana, Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona, Zack Space of Ohio, Jim Costa of California, Robert E. “Bud” Cramer of Alabama, Dennis Moore of Kansas and Tim Mahoney of Florida.

Most of their districts favored Clinton, and support from those lawmakers would be highly valuable for Obama, even if politically dangerous for some of the members.

Some of those inside the townhouse meeting said Obama did not ask for endorsements. He did talk about issues of interest to the members, ranging from coastal environmental concerns to transportation and infrastructure issues."

"On the House floor, Obama appeared at ease, at one point kneeling as he spoke to undeclared superdelegate John M. Spratt Jr. of South Carolina. He also made his way to the chamber’s Murtha corner, where Pennsylvanians, appropriators, and other friends congregate around Defense Appropriations Chairman John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania.

Murtha, who campaigned for Clinton in his home state, rose to his feet to shake hands with the man many Democrats believe has secured their party’s presidential nomination with just six contests remaining on the primary calendar."

'Mr Super', anonymous blogging superdelegate, is former Richardson field director Ed Espinoza. Still undeclared, but was working on gubernatorial primary campaign of Beverly Perdue in NC: she won. She's endorsed Obama. Draw your own conclusions.

3. The undeclared SDs who want to support Obama, but are in swing districts are really in a tough spot.
We don't want to hurt any of our down-ticket chances if we don't have to.
