Rumors are that he's stockpiled 30 superdelegates already.
There was a same rumor going on about Clinton having superdelegates stockpiled, too.  If Obama is savvy or capable enough, which he certainly is, then he probably does.

I actually haven't heard that rumor about Clinton.

Again, see my comment about February. I'm not referring to now. I was referring to when she was on the losing streak.

Obama did have those 50 delegates. He just released them in a steady stream to keep up the perceived momentum he had. Releasing them all at once would have been stupid.

Point of note: The media seems to be now be reporting that the magic number is 2,118. This is wrong. The correct number is 2,117, due to Al Wynn's resignation from Congress this weekend. It also means Obama has lost a Superdelegate (but will regain one once Donna Edwards is elected later next month).

I'm talking about the Hillary having them rumor. And I also think you're speculating with regards to Obama. Sure it's possible the supers decided, but I don't think he knew of most of them or had a plan.

OK, gotcha. Believe what your going to believe on Obama having those SuperDelegates stocked up. I just know that they came out with quite consistency in Febuary-March. I also don't think Tom Brokaw would have stuck his neck out like that if those rumors weren't substantial.
