Columbia, SC -- Three previously undeclared Superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention have just publicly announced their support of Senator Barack Obama, while an additional two have thrown their support behind Senator Hillary Clinton.
According to Time Magazine, the Chairperson of the Congressional Caucus For Women's Issues, Rep. Lois Capps (CA-23), along with Iowa Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-1), are endorsing Sen. Obama. And MSNBC's First Read reports Indiana Rep. Baron Hill ( IN-), has endorsed Sen. Obama as well.
In a counter-punch, Marc Ambinder's blog post in The Atlantic reports that Sen. Hillary Clinton won the endorsement today from a Puerto Rico SuperDelegate, Luisette Cabanas, from Guaynamo. Sen. Clinton also won the endorsement of Bill George, president of the AFL-CIO. Mr. George is the latest Pennsylvania SuperDelegate to announce his choice -- that state has five remaining "undecideds."
The Associated Press unofficial superdelegate tallies have Clinton leading Obama: Clinton, 262; Obama, 243. The AP's total delegate tallies: Obama, 1729; Clinton 1596. The winning nominee, traditionally, would have won the support of 2,025 delegates.

The superdelegate process should be abolished. It's flaws are apparent. It was invented to override the will of the electorate, which in and of itself is a bad idea.
You with think with all the media clowning about Wright that the remaining delegates would go straight to Clinton. I guess, they know something that we don't or they can't be fooled by the MSM's juvenile reporting tactics.
I'm sorry - it's "You would think with all the media. . ."
(It's tough writing while looking over your shoulder)
That was just rude. You must be a Clinton supporter.
Obama is catching up with her elitist group that supported her from DAY ONE. The candidate with the most pledged delegates will end up with the nomination. It is over.
