By the way, I’m adding “Total Delegates Needed To Clinch” to the totals below because Obama is getting within 100.
First, Rep. Henry Waxman and Rep. Howard Berman of California…
Senator Obama’s vision for change has inspired tens of millions of Americans,” Chairman Waxman said. “And he’s also proved that he has the experience, judgment, integrity, [...]

With Childers’ win in Mississippi’s special election last night, another superdelegate has been added since all state representatives get a vote.
No word on who he’ll back, but Mississippi went really big (61% to 37%) for Obama.
By the way, Clinton and company have now revised their number to 2,210. I point this out only so [...]

They seem to come in pairs of two lately, don’t they?
DNC member Lena Taylor of Wisconsin…
State Sen. Lena Taylor from Milwaukee announced her support for Obama on Wednesday afternoon. Late Tuesday night University of Wisconsin-Madison student Awais Khaleel announced his endorsement for Obama on a YouTube video.
That makes 11 superdelegates in Wisconsin for Obama with [...]

College Democrats of America President Lauren Wolfe and Vice President Awais Khaleel endorse Obama today via YouTube:

However, since Wolfe is from Michigan, her vote will only count if the DNC comes to some sort of agreement with the state. That’s why I’m only adding 1 to Obama’s total below.
Post-Pennsylvania Delegate Pickups:
Obama - 56.5
Clinton - 14.5 [...]

First Rep. Pete Visclosky from Indiana…
The Merrillville Democrat becomes the seventh Indiana superdelegate to endorse Obama.
In a statement Wednesday, Visclosky says Obama “promises to bring Americans together.”
Visclosky represents much of northwestern Indiana, just over the border from Chicago, where Obama lives.
He also added Christine Schon Marques of the Democrats Abroad, who accounts for [...]

Sorry, I couldn’t resist that picture.
He’s +4 today over Hillary.
First, former Colorado governor and DNC chairman Roy Romer:
Roy Romer, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former governor of Colorado, said Tuesday that he is supporting Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for president. In announcing his decision, Romer urged other superdelegates to do the [...]

The first is New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin:
“Since the immediate days following the storm, I have been traveling to our nation’s capitol to advocate for policies that aid our rebuilding effort,” Nagin said in a statement released by the Obama campaign. “I know first hand, we desperately need the leadership of someone committed to changing [...]

That’s +4 for the day for Obama since Hillary hasn’t picked up any.
First, senator Daniel Akaka endorses, making 19 senators for Obama…
“I’ve followed the campaign for president closely … to see which candidate would articulate a vision for our country, encourage hope and renew faith in our government, and stand to rigors of a nationwide [...]

R. Keith Roark, the Idaho Democratic Party chairman, had this to say about his endorsement…
“After several months of careful consideration, I am announcing today that I will cast my vote this August at the Democratic National Convention for the next President of the United States, Senator Barack Obama. I have evaluated the two remaining candidates [...]

Representative Tom Allen had this to say about his endorsement…
“It is time to bring a graceful end to the primary campaign,” Allen said in a statement. “We now need to unify the Democratic Party and focus on electing Sen. Obama and a working majority in the United States Senate.”
Agreed.
By the way, looks like an Idaho [...]

This time it’s Crystal Strait…
Strait, 28 years of age, the immediate past President of the California Young Democrats, and a member of the Democratic National Committee representing Young Democrats of America, is a powerful boost for Obama. She had been cited as an undecided delegate in an article as late as one appearing in [...]

2008 Democratic Convention Watch puts together these graphs to shows you how far the two have come.

Just 9 days until May 20th. Will Hillary do the smart thing and bow out gracefully or will she continue to claim the impossible?

Rough day for Clinton on Saturday and now Obama leads her in superdelegates support for the first time by my count. And MSNBC’s. And AP’s.
It. Is. Over.
First, Obama added Carol Burke and Kevin Rodriguez switched. Both were from the Virgin Islands. Next, Ohio gave Obama Dave Regan, an add-on super.
The only elected superdelegate pickup [...]

Now he’s just .5 delegates away from tying Hillary.
From 2008 Democratic Convention Watch:
Utah selected it’s add-on superdelegate last night: Kristi Cumming. We know that Utah Chairman Wayne Holland, an Obama supporter, had previously announced that the add-on would be an Obama supporter, and we have received confirmation from the Utah Democratic Party that Cumming will [...]
