Superdelegates!

By Paul - Posted on 12 May 2008 09:32pm

It's all Obama today as he has picked up the following superdelegates:

  • Hawaii's Dolly Strazar
  • Hawaii Sen. Daniel Akaka
  • Idaho Democratic Party Chairman R. Keith Roark

That makes a net +22 for Obama since last Tuesday's primary and a net +1.5 for Clinton since the same day. Not sure where the 0.5 came from - can't see it looking back in the notes, but whatever.

The totals are now:

PLEDGED: Obama 1,590, Clinton 1,426
SUPERS: Obama 279, Clinton 276.5
TOTAL: Obama 1,869, Clinton 1,702.5

And I think this makes the last major superdelegate list where Obama has overtaken Clinton.

And this is a cool metric from First Read as well:

Here’s a timeline of superdelegate numbers:

  • Feb. 5: Clinton 260-170
  • Feb. 28 (after Obama's winning streak of 11-straight contests): Clinton 254-204
  • March 6 (after OH/TX/RI/VT): 254-215
  • March 14 (After Obama's wins in WY 3/8; MS 3/11): Clinton 253-217
  • March 31: Clinton 255-222
  • April 15: Clinton 257-231
  • April 23 (the day after the PA primary): Clinton 263-239
  • April 30: Clinton 268-248
  • May 5 (day before Indiana/NC primaries): Clinton 272.5-256
  • May 12: Obama 279-276.5
