Four MORE Super Delegates for Obama today! Hillary's huge lead slashed to 15!!!
Obama picked up four more Super Delegates today. Hillary picked up ZERO!!

From MSNBC:

The Delegate Counts:
SUPERDELEGATES: Clinton 273-258
PLEDGED: Obama 1,492-1,338
OVERALL: Obama 1,750-1,611

- There are 264 undeclared superdelegates.
- Since the Pennsylvania primary: It's Obama +21, Clinton +11.
- Since Super Tuesday, Feb. 5: It's Obama +88, Clinton +13.
- Since Junior Super Tuesday, March 4: It's Obama +45, Clinton +20

Even after her triple digit win in PA (LOL), Obama has gained 10 more Super Delegates than Hillary.

And Obama gained 4 more today, they did not even wait for the election tomorrow.

I sense a change coming on!!

4. Everybody missed the point of PA--except Obama

He didn't win, but he did hit his "magic number" of 45% of the vote. As a result, Hillary will now have to win ALL NINE of the remaining contests with AT LEAST 69% of the vote in order to catch him. And if Obama wins NC and gets at least 40% of IN, her number will go even higher.

7. Obama will likely increase his delegate lead tomorrow with a respectable win in NC
and making it close in Indiana. The Supers will then start leaving her even faster seeing she is just spinning her wheels.

10. This is pretty big news.
Even if Obama picked up no supers in the days following tomorrow there are upcoming state conventions that will start giving him addons and other supers.

And because with a good NC with and keeping his loss in Indiana under 5 he will likely pick up 10-20 delegates it means that Clintons days with the superdelegate lead are rapidly drawing to the end.
