In the two week period between PA and IN/NC Obama likely to pick up 20 delegates

1)Has already picked up 7 Super Delegates (some were recently added 'add on' Super Delegates)

2)The following pro Obama states will also be adding 7 'add on' super delegates and you would expect most of them to be for Obama.

Maryland 2 5/1/2008 Selected at the State Democratic Central Committee meeting.
Louisiana 1 5/3/2008 Selected by the Democratic State Central Committee).
South Carolina 1 5/3/2008 Elected during the State Convention
Illinois 3 5/5/2008 Selected during the State Convention


3) If Obama continues to add super delegate endorsements in the next week at the current rate he would add at least 20 super delegates in the 2 weeks before the Indiana and North Carolina primary.

As of today Obama needs only 137 Pledged Delegates to command the majority of pledged delegates and only 298 total delegates to secure the 2024 needed for nomination (Clinton needs 291/431 for the same)
