Hillary Picks Up Texas Superdelegate

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Hillary, Super Delegates!!!, Texas

From Politico:

A Texas DNC member, Jaime A. Gonzalez Jr., is coming out for Clinton, a campaign source says.

The move by Gonzalez, a trial lawyer, gives her a net gain on the day.

ALSO: He’s on Rules & Bylaws, which could be handy in a fight over Florida and Michigan.

I didn’t hear about any other superdelegate pickup for Clinton today, and since Obama picked up a former DNC chair Paul G. Kirk I thought it was a tie for the day, but please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Post Pennsylvania pickups are now 16 to 12, with Obama leading.

The totals after the jump…
