Obama closing in on Clinton's advantage among superdelegates.
Barack Obama is closing in on Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's advantage among superdelegates, building on his lead in the primary race even as he faces troubled times.


Clinton had a big jump start among superdelegates, many of whom have ties to the Clintons and backed her candidacy early on. But most of the superdelegates taking sides recently have gone for Obama, who has won more state contests.

Obama trails Clinton by just 21 superdelegates, 243-264, cutting her lead in half in less than two months. This week, he picked up seven delegates to her four.


Obama now leads in the delegate count overall 1731.5 to 1598.5 for Clinton.


Just more proof that the Clinton Lie Machine isn't working.

10. So What? HiIlary is still destroying his poll numbers and chances for November
and Obama and his camp do NOTHING>

What a bunch of pathetic incompetents his campaign turns out to be.

They only did well when it came to states Hillary didn't invest in.

Now that there is turbulence, they drop the ball.

13. BUT SHE ISN'T CONCEDING! She's staying in and destroying Obama. He looks WEAK.
He has not dominated any news cycle in months. He looks like a weak, wimp who can't or won't fight back.

She's fucking Norma Rae and he's an elitist. And when she wins Indiana, that will just continue the whole mess.
