[HiFructosePronSyrup]

This is a thread for superdelegate announcements.

When they come several a day, who's declaring what and when gets a little confusing when it's broken up over multiple threads.

5. They can "switch" at anytime. Their votes do not count until the convetion

They are only touted around early to create perception, influence voters, or force other candidates out. Endorsements are meaningless as far as the process goes until the convention. If enough arms are twisted in the right ways in smoke filled rooms, it is possible for Hillary to win this. It has happened before.

3. Or you can just go here...

Useful for reference, certainly, but doesn't seem laid out for latest breaking stuff.

Obama superdelegates find their 'sisterhood' questioned


WASHINGTON (AP) — Some female superdelegates backing Sen. Barack Obama are having their "sisterhood" questioned, just as some black Democrats have been challenged for their endorsement of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

No one has actually accused Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., of betraying her gender in supporting Obama over Clinton in the race for the party's nomination, but they've let her know they're disappointed.

The reason some give: If Clinton does not win the White House this year, no woman will reach that goal in their lifetimes.



Klobuchar gets it; her mother, 80, is one of these women. The senator's 12-year-old daughter, meanwhile, supports Obama.

Mother's Day, when the three will next spend time together, could be a bit uncomfortable.

"Early on, I had a few people call and say, 'Please don't do this. We don't think it is a good idea for you.' They tended to be donors," Klobuchar recalled. "No one actually yelled at me to my face.">>>>>> More
