Bernie picks up superdelegate after Idaho blowout
(snip)
In the wake of the Vermont senator's landslide victory Tuesday in Idaho, Democratic National Committeeman Pete Gertonson announced in an email that he would be supporting Sanders.
"Pent-up frustrations of a red state, exploded Idaho Caucuses to historic numbers last Tuesday night, with 78% for Bernie Sanders! I'm proud to be an Idaho Democrat representing the people's choice," Gertonson wrote. "I'll cast our Super Delegate vote for Bernie Sanders!"
Gertonson's support is a small but important bit of good news for Sanders, who has lagged far behind Clinton in amassing superdelegates and has argued that unelected superdelegates should follow their states' popular vote.
Sanders beat Clinton in Idaho's Democratic caucuses 78 percent to 21 percent.

PS: Sorry, Uncle Joe! I couldn't resist, with the way Corporate McPravda adds the superdelegates "on the assumption" to Hillary's pile.
Congrats?
