Obama Cuts Into Clinton's Delegate Lead Among Elected Officials

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"Barack Obama has pulled almost even with Hillary Clinton in endorsements from top elected officials and has cut into her lead among the other superdelegates she's relying on to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Among the 313 of 796 superdelegates who are members of Congress or governors, Clinton has commitments from 103 and Obama is backed by 96, according to lists supplied by the campaigns. Fifty-three of Obama's endorsements have come since he won the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses, compared with 12 who have aligned with Clinton since then.

"That's not glacial, that is a remarkable momentum," Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri, a superdelegate and Obama supporter, said in an interview. "I don't think there is anything that will slow that down."

Democratic elected officials have the most at stake in the nomination because the candidate at the top of the ticket in November will have an impact on state and local races."

3. And she knows it ...

And she knows it, and she knows she will loose the rest soon unless she can get those Michigan and Florida delegates. So the new mantra is NO REVOTES AT ALL in those states.

Even if she wins those revotes, Obama will probably earn what he needs to get a majority of delegates on the first ballot. This has to got to the second ballot so Hillary can bribe and bully her way to the nomination.

Hillary supporters, do you ever grimace as to why Hillary makes it SO HARD to defend her. Aren't we ALL sick of defending Clintons. Didn't you grimace when she lashed out at Obama for having less experience then McCain while simultaneously damaging here own bid since McCain has 3x the Senate experience as her and far more experience in military affairs???

Free yourself from Hillary, join the Obama camp!!!
