Hillary superdelegate switches sides to Obama...(drip drip drip)
Barack Obama has won the endorsement of four new superdelegates helping push him toward the Democratic presidential nomination, including a backer of rival Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The support comes the day after Obama's victory in North Carolina and closer than expected finish behind Clinton in Indiana.

Among the supporters is Virginia's Jennifer McClellan, who used to support Clinton.

The Obama campaign announced three other supporters — North Carolina Democratic Party Chairman Jerry Meek, North Carolina Democratic National Committee member Jeanette Council, and California DNC member Inola Henry.

2. What's cool about former Hillary-supporting Supers switching to Obama is
that it's like Obama actually gaining 2 supers, cuz HIllary looses one and he gains one.

I'm now visualizing a stampede of Hillary Supers switching to Obama. :-)

7. It's even better.... Hillary needs 2 supers for every one
that Obama gets in order to win. So Obama supuers are worth two Hillary supers. So it's plus 2 Obama and minus 2 Hillary....or +4 for Obama.

Hillary needs 4 new supers just to counter this switch. :)
