The Obama campaign announced yet another superdelegate endorsement -- South Carolina DNC Member Wilber Lee Jeffcoat. This is Obama's fifth pick up today. (The campaign also announced CA DNC Member Vernon Watkins, but we did not add him into our count, because he was already on our list.)
So far today, it's a net of Obama 5-0.
OBAMA (5): Jeffcoat, Edward Espinoza, NC DNC Member John Gage, Reps. Donald Payne of NJ and Peter DeFazio of Oregon (+5).
CLINTON (0): Rep. Chris Carney of PA (+1
up 5-0 today |

Wow... that cartoon was great. I can't decide what was my favorite part: the ghost-writing Richard Cohen, "the transitivity of blackness," or Obama's white granny going under the bus.
I think it was Granny Obammy.

In addition, the American Federation of Government Employees announced its support for Obama. The union claims about 600,000 members who work in the federal and Washington, D.C., governments.
Obama, who won a convincing victory in the North Carolina primary and lost Indiana narrowly on Tuesday, has been steadily gaining strength in the days since.
Clinton also gained a superdelegate.
The developments left the former first lady with 271.5 superdelegates, to 269 for Obama. Little more than four months ago, on the eve of the primary season, she held a lead of 169-63.

OK, I have to ask: Why is David Broder the Dean of the Washington Press Corps(e)? Shouldn't that title, by virtue of longevity, consistency, and ... virtue, belong to Helen Thomas? Or is it that she's from the wrong school--truth-telling?

one of the first things the newly elected Democratic President ought to do is restore Helen to her former seat at press conferences...
