Darlena Williams-Burnett of Illinois announced tonight she will be voting for Obama as a super delegate

[Flying Dog]

Clinton leads in endorsements from superdelegates, 242 to 209. But that lead has shrunk in the past month. Since an AP survey the week of Super Tuesday, Obama has added 53 superdelegates, while Clinton has had a net loss of one.

I thought the national AFSCME endorsed Clinton. Do the state Unions not have to abide by that?

Pelosi has all but endorsed Obama in stating that the superdelegates should not vote against whoever wins pledged delegates and basically pledge to vote for the winner of pledged delegates, which is going to be almost certainly Obama. Her daughter, a DNC member has said the same thing. So those are two more likely superdelegates for Obama though they can't be officially counted until official statements/Obama officially clinches pledged delegates.

Still it's a little frustrating for how long it'll take for Obama to clinch pledged delegates, the soonest he can do it is probably May 20.

Possibly one of the most important endorsements of this campaign - Ugly Betty Backs Hillary - http://www.philly.com/inquirer/home_top_stories/20080321_More_Democrats__fewer_Republicans_in_Pennsylvania.html

That should swing at least 35 superdelegates, I'd estimate.

Took him long enough. Dan Lipinski endorsed Obama. This leaves heavily Clinton connected Rahm Emanuel as the only member of Illinois' congressional delegation to not endorse Obama.

Connecticut elects Obama supporter Donald E. Williams as it's add-on superdelegate, the State Senate President Pro Tempore and co-chair of Obama's Connecticut campaign. Who's the other co-chair? Ned Lamont.
