Yesterday, five more superdelegates were gathered by the Obama campaign giving him the unquestionable lead by almost all news sources. Two were the Add-On's I have mentioned, Kristi Cumming (Add-On-UT) and Dave Regan (Add-On-OH) while Clinton picked up Arthur Powell (Add-On-MA) joining a late endorsement for Clinton late Friday, Rep. Ciro Rodriquez (D-TX). Obama's other endorsements were Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-AZ), and a pair from the Virgin Islands, Carol Burke (DNC-VI) and Kevin Rodriquez (DNC-VI) who switched from Clinton to Obama bringing Clinton a net zero for Saturday.
All told the hard count is now 274 for Obama and 270.5 for Clinton, and reducing the magic number greatly. Add in the Pelosi Pledged (7) to the winner of the pledged delegates contests, (281) plus the announced Montana superdelegate and Obama is actually a t 282. The two Add-On's continue to go according to the projections where Obama now has 28 probably to earn, this brings the total to 310 without any other superdelegate endorsements.
