Oregon Rep. and superdegate David Wu announced this morning that he is backing Obama. That's 3 SDs in just that last two days. What happened to all that momentum of Hillary's? Could it be that many are seeing the Clinton Pa. primary win for what it really was: too little too late.

This guy seems to be winning when he's winning and losing. Too bad for the Clintons there's no strategy to counter this.

There are 300+ superdelegates that have not answered the big push to step up and be counted to end the carnage. That fact that they're not doing so should be very concerning for Obama. This one by one stuff sounds almost hysterically pathetic.

Are you in denial or something? - one is BETTER THAN nothing. Hillary should be very concerned if she has only been able to pick up about 15 Superdelegates and lose quite a few since Feb. 5th. You need to get with the program

Wow. I thought the GOP was the arm twisting party that demands all it's members fall in line and obey.

I would take one or two a day instead of having them all at once...it helps keep it in the headlines!!!

As for Clinton...she should be hoping she can catch up! How many has Obama got since Feb 5th? How many has Clinton received in the same time frame?

Doesn't look "hysterically pathetic." The SDs continue to move Obama's way as they have been doing for the last couple months. Actually that graph needs to be updated as according to DCW her SD lead is now down to 22 at 256-234.

I'm referring to the 300 uncommitted supers. Look, the media is screaming for Hillary to get out. Some of the party hacks are screaming for her to get out. Obama is outspending her 2 or 3-1. Hillary is broke. All this and he still gets crushed in PA; hasn't won a big state since Feb.

So 300 uncommitted superdelegates are ignoring the frantic call by the party to commit to Obama and end this thing. They can see that Hillary's gotten the majority of the true popular vote. They can see that Hillary's won the states and has the support of the voting base that the dems need to win against McCain. They see Obama slipping quickly; his voting block reduced to African-Americans and the San Fran elites. If I were an Obama supporter I'd be having night sweats. He is sinking like a rock; now refusing to debate Hillary. His biggest hope is that the time clock will expire before this really gets ugly.

Obama is sinking like a rock? Hillary is practically broke and he's sinking? he leads the popular vote by 483,000 votes, he leads in pledged delegates, he leads in the amount of states won and is behind Hillary by 23 Super delegates now. Her winning big states is sort of a moot point since Democratic states will stay Democratic no matter who the nominee is. California & New York are not going for McCain just because Obama is the nominee. Get a grip on reality.

If SD decide Clinton over Obama and go against the peoples votes I just may end up voting for McCain or not vote at all . I'm in NY btw.
