6. Hillary gained 3 yesterday, apparently she's padding her lead

Why she's ahead in SD's while behind in every other way possible is beyond me.

7. She had around 200 SDs declare for her almost the minute she announced the campaign.

Back when she was the inevitable nominee and we all needed to fall in line.

14. And from there it has been essentially a free-fall.

The only thing that has saved her from a total collapse of supers is the fact that there haven't been any primaries for a month. There are three big one in the next 3 weeks, and after that, most of the remaining superdelegates will have come out.

She will lose NC and will probably lose Indiana. If she does not win PA by 15 points or more, the big majority of undeclared SDs will declare for Obama after Indiana and that will be the end of this thing, mercifully.

5. Any one have a link to the current SD count for both candidates?

Achelpohl hands superdelegate vote to Obama

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

In announcing his endorsement, the Obama campaign released a statement from Achelpohl citing the senator’s ability to “put states like Nebraska in play” during the presidential election this fall.

“Sen. Obama continues to transcend ‘politics as usual’ and focus on the issues that really matter to American families and workers,” Achelpohl said.

“Our party can unite behind Sen. Obama and his positive campaign.”

Obama, he said, will “unite Americans from all walks of life behind his historic movement for change.”

Achelpohl waited 10 weeks after Nebraska’s Feb. 9 Democratic presidential caucuses to commit his superdelegate vote.

Obama sailed past Sen. Hillary Clinton in the caucuses, winning two of every three votes.

Achelpohl’s decision gives Obama five of Nebraska’s six superdelegate votes.
