Obama's march to Denver, (like Sherman's march to the sea) is becoming unstoppable to the nomination as today he has received 4 more superdelegate commitments. This brings the total since NC-IN primary day to 27 to 1 and since Super Tuesday in February 123 to 10.5. This morning fmr CO Governor Ray Romer (DNC-CO), along with Rep. Tom Donnelly (D-IN) , Mayor Ray Nagin (Add-On-LA) and Anita Bonds (DNC-DC) joined 279 other Democratic superdelegates to endorse Obama. This brings Obama's totals to 1875 hard count delegates.
I expect Obama to win 99 pledged delegates in the next contests leaving him him 49 short of the nomination, where by I expect him to gather 28 Add-On's bring him to 21. Put in the Pelosi Pledge of 6 now (as Romer was one of those) and this brings us to 15 superdelegates and this will be over.
Now something important. We in Colorado can actually win 2 more delegates for Obama. I have projected Obama to win 7 at large and 4 PlEO's at the State Convention, but if Obama can hold onto a 1% difference in the at large seating and 2% for the PLEO he can win 13 delegates and reduce that number by two. How that is to be done is for all delegates and alternates to be there this Saturday, period.
