Arizona superdelegate pledges vote for Obama

[sniffa]

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama picked up another superdelegate Saturday at the Arizona Democratic Party's state convention as the neck-in-neck race for the Democratic nomination continues with New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Charlene Fernandez, chairwoman of the Yuma Democratic Party, was chosen the state party's first vice chairwoman, a position that carries with it superdelegate status.

Fernandez defeated three other opponents and received claps and cheers when she declared in her stump speech that she pledged her vote to Obama.

.....

Arizona has 11 super delegates with four supporting Clinton, three backing Obama and four uncommitted as of Saturday.

9. As long as Obama matches 1 superdelegate for every one of hers that announce, he is doing great

10. He'll get to 2025 long before she has a chance.

HE could even match one for her two, and beat her to 2025.

If the past few days have been any indication of how the next 2 weeks will be, I betcha we see 1-2 SD's making announcements in favor of Obama each day...and silence from the HRC camp in return.
