4. Part of her problem is as she picks up a few undecided super delegates, Obama's getting her super
delegates who were previously pledged to her and he's also picking up undecided super delegates at a higher rate. Each ex-Hillary super delegate that Obama picks up is both a +1 for him and a -1 for her so it's a super-sized super delegate net for Obama.

3. It's awfully tough to catch up to what Clinton was given since the start.
But he is doing it. That should mean a lot to the SDs - to make gains like that.

5. Obama is leading among super delegates who hold elected office; Hillary is leading among DNC super
delegates.

6. IT'd be interesting to break it out and see how many of those she picked up early on
She went into the race with a huge SD advantage. Now she leads by 19. I expect Obama to draw even by mid-month.

9. Yes, Hillary picked up the early DNC super delegate lead very early (before a single vote was cast)
And her super delegate lead is now down to 15 (down from a 97 super delegate lead less than three months ago). Source: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/
