AP survey: Superdelegates jump to Obama - None of Obama's have strayed.

[Genevieve]

WASHINGTON - The Democratic superdelegates are starting to follow the voters — straight to Barack Obama.

In just the past two weeks, more than two dozen of them have climbed aboard his presidential campaign, according to a survey by The Associated Press. At the same time, Hillary Rodham Clinton's are beginning to jump ship, abandoning her for Obama or deciding they now are undecided.

The result: He's narrowing her once-commanding lead among these "superdelegates," the Democratic office holders and party officials who automatically attend the national convention and can vote for whomever they choose.

As Obama has reeled off 11 straight primary victories, some of the superdelegates are having second — or third — thoughts about their public commitments.

1. So 75 *new* Superdelegates will be chosen this spring?

One would hope that, in states carried by Obama, the powers that be will choose superdelegates who will support Obama.

2. . . . . .

"states carried by Obama, the powers that be will choose superdelegates who will support Obama."

How true!

3. Yeah, you have to wonder how many have changed their minds...

...but didn't feel like running to the press with this information.

5. the media has been padding her numbers with superdelegates, all along. It's the only way she appears

close to Obama in this race.

6. I thought so, thanks, nt

7. No surprise here. With the new pro-Clinton 527 threatening ad buys to

smear Obama, the only way to stop Team Clinton from doing irreparable harm to our almost presumptive nominee is for the SDs to jump ship as a signal to Billary that the fat lady is indeed warming up.

10. well, I personally wish the whole thing were

over already, and Obama be declared as the candidate.

8. That's great, but we've still got a lot of work to do.

We've had her on the ropes since Super Duper OMGWTFBBQ Tuesday--we can land the knockout blow here.

9. We certainly do!.. .n/t

11. I wasn't an Obama supporter -- I was 100% for Edwards

But when JE dropped out, I chose to support Obama. Out of the two, I feel he's far more electable.
