Dean's Super-dels start moving!!

[livingmadness]

Heads up Obama supporters - "Democratic State Chairman Steve Achelpohl of Omaha has joined a flurry of superdelegates moving to Sen. Barack Obama’s side".

It seems Mr Achelpohl believes Obama is the man for unity and change!

1. "has joined a flurry of superdelegates moving to Sen. Barack Obama’s side"

[cali]

2. is this a brand spanking new one?

how many SD endorsements did Obama get this week?

[livingmadness]

4. Heck, there's so many endorsements

coming lately, its hard to sort the super-dels from the rest. I read earlier that Moby, who many had assumed would support Clinton (!) endorsed Obama today. Still, nothing on 'the Boss'! And celebs are fairly insignificant in anything other than feel-good factor. Would it be 8 this week?!

9. Oooh, even better

:)

I assume that as ex-Senators, they are SD's.

12. They aren't Supers. They are party elers and much respected though.

And they can influence current Supers that Obama is a safe and sane choice.

3. If they start moving very soon Clinton's superdelegate lead will be gone by May.

Tho likely most are waiting till after PA so as to not seem like they are doing anything wrong. (They arent because supers can endorse any time they want)

[Gore1FL]

7. Even if th4 break 50-50 (or even 60-40 in Clinton;s favor)

it won't be enough.

11. By mid-May if not earlier Obama will have the majority of PLEDGED delegates. At that point,

the SDs will come over to him in a torrent.

13. This is good news. I hope they keep it up over the weekend. n/t
