Superdelegates!
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
