Also, it would seem that the likes of MSNBC are 2 behind in their numbers. Obama’s campaign says today that he has 257 superdelegates (MSNBC has him at 255).

There is also an anomaly in our list. Paul G. Kirk, Jr. was announced as a new endorsement in May, and I checked with Wiki and he was not listed as a previous endorser. However, on the same day Clinton announced a new endorser for her, they questioned the Kirk endorsement saying he had endorsed in February. As it turns out, her new endorsement had already endorsed on Feb 14, although MSNBC also found that Kirk did seem to have also endorsed Obama in February. Wiki has now been updated and lists this February as the date of the Kirk endorsement, not the May date.

I think Kirk should stay in the list because it would seem that his previous endorsement had not been counted on the official Obama delegate count until May. But to be honest, I’m not 100% sure.

Senator Obama is now only 275 delegates away from securing the Democratic nomination, which is the important thing, although catching up with Clinton in the Superdelegate deficit will have kudos when achieved too.
