Obama picked up 7 new super delegates since yesterday. He only needs 49. Details?

[Hamlette]

just noticed on his site he only needs 49 delegates to reach 2025. Yesterday it was 56. Not all sites have caught up with his total delegate count of 1977 (from his site). Any details on the new supers?

10. Wonder how many clicked on your comment within the nano-second I did?

:evilgrin: Good one!

[gabeana]

13. LOL

I just get tired of the chorus of Hill supporters who lack critical thinking, use RW smear sites, or reference Hill hacks to make their case that Obama or now even Olbermann is a sexist. It saddens me to realize they have adopted the same tendencies of the Bush club.

3. I think some were add ons.... not all SDs

5. add-ons are considered undeclared superdelegates

until they are selected. Think about it: Only two categories, pledged delegates and superdelegates. Add-ons are not considered pledged delegates, so they must be considered superdelegates.

[Hamlette]

14. ah. Now I remember reading there would be some add ons from HI this weekend. My bad. thanks n/t

4. Anyone mention that delegates can change their mind?

[hokies4ever]

6. Yeah, even pledged delegates can change their mind

and one of Hillary's pledged delegates did just that! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

8. 11 supers have changed their mind during the contest

9. I think they put breaks on it until after 6/3

11. You very well could be right. Or never announce at all

Their point was to tell her "its over". I think Friday proved to the world that everyone but Hillary knows that now.

As long as she quits kneecapping our nominee, they could likely back off.

12. Sure they can. And I imagine on June 4th, we'll see a good number

of Clinton delegates moving to Obama.

7. Here's a site that is tracking the delegates.

Demconwatch provides news on the latest super delegates and primary updates.


Obama got add ons yesterday from 1 GA, 1 AK,1 WY, and 3 HI. Alaska in their final totals also added a pledged delegate to Obama removing one from Clinton's column.
