Obama Leads Among Senate Supers
Here's a full listing of where Obama and Clinton's Senate colleagues are. And although Russ Feingold admitted to voting for Obama in his state's primary, he's still listed as "uncommitted."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/31/844144.aspx

With the endorsement by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) for Obama, we decided to take a look at who each Democratic senator is backing. Obama, it turns out, leads Clinton, 14-12. Twenty senators are uncommitted. A couple of notes... excluded from the list is the Florida-Michigan contingent of senators: Debbie Stabenow, of Michigan, who is backing Clinton; Carl Levin, of Michigan, who is uncommitted; and Bill Nelson, of Florida, who has endorsed Clinton. Also excluded are senators, who caucus with Democrats, but do not have a vote at convention: Bernie Sanders (I-VT-Uncommitted) and Joe Lieberman (I/D-CT-McCain). Lieberman was stripped of his superdelegate status when he endorsed McCain.

Here's the full list of the Senate superdelegate endorsements:

OBAMA (14)

1. Cantwell has started to get a bit shaky on Clinton
Per her statement a week or two ago.

3. I believe Boxer is a Clinton endorser
That said, I'm really glad to see another woman endorsing Barack.

7. It's obvious Hillary's list is a lie. My senator,Bill Nelson is an ardent endorser of Hillary's.

9. Bill Nelson can't vote. That whole FL thing.
Diane Feinstein hasn't supported Hillary that I know of. It was Barbara Boxer who did.

11. You should put an asterick next to Feingold
He said that he was inclined to vote the way his state did, and he also said in an interview that he voted for Obama as a voter. So some counts have him listed for Obama.
