Obama Picks Up Super-Delegates

The Barack Obama campaign claims they are 10 delegates away from clinching the nomination. TPM Election Central has a tally of recent super-delegates that just pledged their votes for Obama.

• Former President Jimmy Carter, who had dropped hints for quite a while that he was for Obama, and officially confirmed the news with the Associated Press.

• South Carolina Congressman John Spratt.

• DNC member Ralph Dawson, from Hillary Clinton's home state of New York.

• Massachusetts DNC member Deb Kozikowski.

• Massachusetts Congressman John Olver.

• DNC member Joyce Beatty of Ohio.

• DNC member Jennifer Dechant of Maine.

• DNC member Maria Chappelle-Nadal of Missouri.

• State party vice chair Carnelia Fondren of Mississippi.

• DNC member John Perez of California.

• Six Michigan super-dels, who each count as half a vote: Detroit Mayor and DNC member Kwame Kilpatrick, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, and DNC members Debbie Dingell, Rick Wiener and Joyce Lalonde, and state party vice chair Tina Abbott.

• Florida DNC member Diane Glasser, who counts as half a vote.

• DNC member Kamil Hasan of California, who has switched from Clinton.

• DNC member Ben Johnson of the District of Columbia, who has switched from Clinton.

Hillary Clinton picked up 3.5 super-delegates today.

This race was over long ago. Hillary is finally realizing the truth and desperately talking herself up as Obama's VP. Hillary ran a race-baiting campaign. Bill Clinton insinuated that Obama only won South Carolina because he is black. Members of the Clinton campaign spreaded the lie that Obama is a Muslim. Hillary declared John McCain more fit to serve than Obama.

Nancy Pelosi: I think the Clinton administration has fairly ruled that out, by claiming that Senator McCain would be a better Commander in Chief than Obama.

I think the Clintons screwed themselves, too.
