[my3boyz]

Obama just picked up another Super Delegate. Rep. Joe Donnelly from INDIANA endorses Barack Obama. Let's keep today's pick-ups in this thread.

1. great news!

2. Enjoy the West Virginia win Clinton because I think it's over soon after

At least it should be. They're giving you a chance to do the right thing with dignity still Hillary. Maybe you should take them up on it. Once the real flood happens it's just going to be embarrassing.

7. since Hillary likes SNL, the buh bye skit is perfect

Yeah, buh bye, Hillary!

No really, buh bye!!

BUH BYE!!

3. We'll probably see at least four a day everyday

4. It's now a steady stream and not a trickleI

I believe that the Obama campaign has the SDs to put him over 2024, and that they're releasing them judiciously.

8. definitely. and maybe a burst on or the day after WV to distract from the blowout

or maybe they'll just keep on doin what they're doin... seems to be working.

Axelrod
"You're going to see people (superdelegates) making decisions at a rapid pace from this point on," he said. "We've been announcing several each day for the last few days. We're going to continue to unfurl these endorsements on a regular basis."

12. I agree they have the 2024 and they know it... just let them slowly come out

5. This shift seems like it's taking forever

9. It's fitting

The whole primary process seems to have brought time to a grinding halt. Why should anything else about it be quick.

16. how cool would it be if he got more supers today then Hillary nets in WV?

prepare to see several more trickle out today for Obama

[Doityourself]

17. kickity kick

[Zachstar]

18. Good news!

19. Plus the person from MD who switched today right?

Doesnt that make it 3 today?

[Barack_America]

21. That guy was a Clinton pledged delegate...

Which makes the switch all the more interesting.

[mohc]

22. The person in MD that switched was not a superdelegate

Prince George's County Executive Jack B. Johnson was a pledged delegate for Clinton, and is going against his pledge and will back Obama. I doubt the media will report it this way, but what this does is change the current pledged delegate lead from 164 to 166, but has no effect on superdelegate counts.

25. Thank you for the clarification!
