Obama picks up 4 delegates

AP foreign, Sunday May 25 2008

ATLANTA (AP) - Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton
each picked up a delegate in Georgia on Saturday as state
Democrats selected their delegation to the party's national
convention in Denver this summer.

Obama picked up another superdelegate later Saturday in
Wyoming, then one more in Alaska. Obama also took a pledged
delegate from Clinton at Alaska's Democratic party convention
Saturday.

That brings Obama's overall delegates to 1,974 - only 52
shy of the 2,026 needed to secure the presidential nomination
- to Clinton's 1,779.

The two add-on delegates in Georgia are state party secretary
Stephen Leeds, an Obama supporter, and Verna Cleveland, who
was Clinton's Georgia state director.

1. Sunday is a big day for Hawaii

again from DemconWatch

Sunday. May 25, Hawaii Democrats hold their State Convention, followed by a meeting of the State Central Committee, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort in Waikiki, and name their add-on, and also select a new state party chair and vice-chair, both of whom immediately become superdelegates. Obama won the Hawaii Caucuses. Candidates for the Chair position are Annelle Amaral and Brian Schatz. Schatz is a former member of Obama's campaign in Hawaii, and has been endorsed by Obama. Amaral is a Clinton supporter but has committed to voting for Obama at the convention. In addition, Obama has endorsed James Burns, former chief judge of the state Intermediate Court of Appeals, for the add-on position.

So the total for the weekend add ons will be Obama 6 Clinton 1 - Obama also picked up one pledge delegate and Clinton lost one so the net is Obama 7 and Clinton 0.

Other super delegates may announce as well.

So tomorrow the magic number will drop to:

49
