Here is your blow out: Obama has won 80% of the SuperD endorsements in May!
This includes two today!

Obama = 42
Clinton = 10

Obama has scored a net gain of about three times as many superdelegates in the past two weeks, offsetting Clinton's advantage in West Virginia yesterday.

Obama has won endorsements from 42 Democratic superdelegates since the beginning of the month, including two more today and 29 since last week when he won in North Carolina and narrowly lost Indiana.

By comparison, 10 superdelegates have declared for Clinton since the start of May. After starting the year with twice as many superdelegates as Obama, Clinton now trails the Illinois senator among the party officials and officeholders who get a vote at the national convention. Obama has 286.5 superdelegates to Clinton's 274.5, according to lists and public announcements from both campaigns.

1. I am shocked Hillary found or intimidated 10 SDs to actually support her
talk about political suicide. Doesn't really reflect well on your judgement, to endorse the candidate that lost.

2. It will be even more of a difference after Oregon.
At that point it will be pretty safe to say Obama is the nominee. Therefore the last fence sitters will start to move.
