From

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton can add three superdelegates to her total. Former New Jersey Governors James Florio and Brendan Byrne were elected their state’s unpledged add-on delegates to the convention Thursday. Unpledged add-on delegates have the same voting rights as “superdelegates” and do not need to vote with the primary or caucus results of their home state.

Florio and Byrne endorsed the New York senator last year, along with current “superdelegate” Governor Jon Corzine. Clinton beat Senator Barack Obama in the New Jersey primary in February 54 – 44 percent.

On Friday, Ohio congresswoman and superdelegate Betty Sutton endorsed the New York senator.

Obama claimed four new superdelegate supporters this week.

I REALLY ENJOYED THE INTERVIEWS YOU HAD WITH THE THREE DELEGATES THAT ENDORSED SEN. CLINTON I FOUND JACK'S COMMENTS ESPECIALY GRATIFYING KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WOLF.

Tony   April 18th, 2008 8:03 pm ET

I hope Corzine does not jump ship. Our State is unfortunately the pun of many jokes. Loyalty is no joke. My best regards to the gentlemen who have stated their loyalty as they are men of their word.

THAT AWAY HRC. THATS WHATS GOING TO GIVE US THE RIGHT LEADER FOR OUR COUNTRY. S.D. KNOW O.B. IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL. HE IS TO GREEN, AND HAS NO TRACK RECORD FOR DOING ANYTHING FOR OUR COUNTRY. HRC DONT HAVE TO PROOF HERSELF. SHE HAS BEEN THERE FOR OUR COUNTRY TIME AFTER TIME. AMERICA NEEDS TO START WORRYING ABOUT THEIR COUNTRY. THEY NEED TO GET HRC IN OFFICE SO SHE CAN STRAIGHTENED THIS MESS. GO HRC.

All democrates needs to check out huffington post and she what hillary really thinks of democrates.

Congrats to her on the new superdelegates.

Blayze Kohime   April 18th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

I'm confused. Why is this titled that Clinton gets 3 more when Obama got 4 more, which it just blips at the end. And then fools scream things like "GO HILLARY!" because they are too illiterate or stupid to read the last sentence and realize they are still slipping behind.

Kuse   April 18th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

nice article…look, Hillary got three more superdelegates!!!
yada, yada, yada,…. and oh by the way, Obama picked up four. What, no added information on that fact. Simple math, Obama gains one overall…no mention of that…get with it people, obama is the next president of the US…

April, MD   April 18th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

JAZZ   April 18th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Wonderful, wonderful! Obama fans should learn the rules. Superdelegates are not required to ratify the vote of pledged delegates.They are required to vote their conscience to preserve the party and protect the party faithful from hostile takeovers by third parties and/or radical inside extremist.
The party faithful have and continue to vote out of duty. We don't need to be "inspired" or have a "crush on" etc, etc, etc. Guess who the inside extremist are?
Is Hillary TOO LEGIT to QUIT? HillYes!! Vote Hillary PA!!!

Janice   April 18th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

We're going to party, fiesta, together, forever…all night long…all night, all night. All night long…all night…all night…all night long… all night…all night….

I wonder who Lionel Ritchie is voting for, oh well, I'm voting for Obama, and it really will be a party if he wins? Then we're going to get up the next day and bring the soldiers home.

Obama 08

Smart   April 18th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Obama is extraordinary.

Nothing would have made me believe he would beat the trio of Bill, Hillary and Chelsea (all with presidential blood) in this contest.

It is amazing. If for nothing else, that is a huge feat. I will vote for him.

Alice   April 18th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Why doesn't this story even mention the fact that Obama scored three HUGE endorsements today: Robert Reich, Sam Nunn and David Boren???

In fact, I don't see anything about Nunn (Fmr Armed Services Chairman) and Boren (fmr Intelligence chairman) anywhere on the CNN website.

Didn't you hear about it, CNN?

Paul   April 18th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Good choice!
You know as millions do, that a bunch of empty words cannot make any change unless you know what to do.

Every superdelegate has seen

Hillary 's strong performance in every debate.

On the other hand, they have seen Obama performing poorly when he does not have his outline at hand ( that probably is prepared by his Preacher Mr. Wright) he is "just words" (but unexperienced ones)
Obama offended millions of Americans and even questioned core American values ( gun ownership and faith)

Do you need more reasons to support Hillary?

Hillary - President of the United States of America

We love you Hillary, words cannot deceive us from the fact that you are the best candidate to lead our nation!

Brad   April 18th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

Madame President your on your way to the White House

Mike, VA   April 18th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Give it up Hillary, you just ran a dirty campaign and the American people are sick of it. We had the drama in 2000, and 2004 and we are just tired of it.

wade   April 18th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Do you Clinton supporters ever wonder why the people who worked with her and her husband in the whitehouse are suppoting Barak Obama? They know her the best! They are making the most educated choice.

sandy   April 18th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

poor misguided people .can't you figure it out yet? obama can't beat mccain that's why they want him to win the nominationall these senators who have come out to back obama what have they done in past years but make a mess of our country.so you want to listen to them?use your heads for once let a woman fix this country. the men have had their chance and screwed it up big time THINK ABOUT THAT

California Girl   April 18th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

Way to go, Superdelegates. Hillary has the experience, wisdom and she is REAL Change!

Yes, she can.

Ron   April 18th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

We should remember that the press needs this to drag out all summer. They will prop up whoever is in trouble (i.e. Clinton right now) to help her stay afloat.

Richt abandons her, Obama gets all the Penn newspaper endorsements, gets four new superdelegates (and not from states he's already one) and they headline Hillary getting fewer delegates, including some from a state she won in February.

Gavin, AI   April 18th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

The Over The Hill Gang strikes again–NOT!

She's still losing, and will be history in a way that she doesn't want to be. Hillary has followed Bill into the abys of Monicaland, only to find out her supporters are across the sea, and she's standing on an island. Poor Hill, she can't help it, she married a master liar.

Sally Martinez   April 18th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

mike   April 18th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Funny how cnn alwasy ends a positive story about Clinton with a little comment that shows how Obama has one uped her. Just more evidence of the clear bias in the liberal media.

Sharon   April 18th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

SHE WILL WIN PA SOOOO HUGE!!!
GO HILLARY!!!
It's about time CNN covers HER supporters…..most of the time they don't mention any of them…..

D Frank,

Take a chill pill man, you are about to implode. Hillary is losing and you're going to have to stock up on your meds to get through this. Chill, man, chill.

Don't let the Hillmaster get to you, she's not worth it, really.

Bill   April 18th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

I wonder how many superdelgates voted for the WAR and now vote for Obama?

Does Obama now "trust" their judgement? What a joke; what a hypocrite.

Hilary for President.

paul, nyc ny   April 18th, 2008 7:21 pm ET

PEOPLE PEOPLE, stop with SHE has lost, he has won rhetoric! Can't anyone see that this has charged up the democratic party more than any other race in decades and that it willl only HELP the party rather than hurt it!

If Clinton loses her followers will migrate to Obama, the second best candidate for president. If Obama loses, well, that is up to debate whether or not his "FOLLOWERS" will have stopped crying and crying FOUL! long enough to remember they have to vote for someone.

Difference between the two camps is that Clinton's team is made of realists who see things with wide open sight. They see her as the best of the 2 but also can see that the end result is to get a democrat in the white house. The Obama-ites, are soooooo dilusional in there messiah that they CAN ONLY SEE HIM AS THE VICTOR.

hmmm, the world will be in utter chaos if he wins and then losess.

John Smith   April 18th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

If the ways these candidates are handling themselves as well as running their campaigns reflect how they will run this nation, there is reason to fear.

Hillary plans to go back to Washigton, "fighting" rather tah working to bring people together. How will anhy solution be carried out remains unclear to some of us.

Hillary is still controlled by individuals wo make $50 million plus. What place will the average Joe have in such a government? This stuff is scary?

Cia   April 18th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

What's up with the headline? Obama gets 4 new delegates to Hillary's 3, yet her name is in the headline. Goofy.

John Smith   April 18th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Who really cares at this time:

Hillary would need well over 50 plus more delegates and well over 50,000 plus popular votes to even think of "pulling close" to Obama.

The facts remain, unless of course you flunked high school math, each time Hillary's numbers increase, Obama's will increase at a similar rate. Given that he is ahead in all areas, how is Hillary ever going to pull this off without "buying" the votes of the superdelagtes with her $109 million?

Some of us hope that if Hillary pays for the votes, she will have enough money left to pay a month's rent (or mortage) for each of her active middle-low income supporters as well. Otherwise, I do not see why they are wasting so much of their time on a losing candidate!

PA Latina   April 18th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

RISE HILLARY RISE…….Maya Angelou

John   April 18th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

One significant observation about Obama endorsers;they are like a swollen river come faster and ebb fastest! the real endorsers are the real delegates,who line up in rain,snow or freezing temps.Those are the people who count.Is it a wonder that the day Obama is tagging behind after the Debate,which he lost miserably.Now comes up the endorsers to divert the imminent loss Obama is facing in Pennsylvania and othe upcoming primaries.A stratergy to level things up! It is not going to work.If that is how they are going to liberate Obama when he is at the bottom,digging deeper,then God help us all.When the real delegates declare Hillary the winner,then it will not matter who endorses Obama the whinner! America watch these manouvers and categorically disband them and ignore them.the polls as usual are cooked.hillary is just where she needs to be.Keep the fight alive,we are all behind youMs.President Hillary Rodham Cinton!!!

CoryBee   April 18th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

let's face it, neither Obama or Hillary will get to 2024 in pledged delegates. There's 1% difference in popular votes between the two. The race is tight, no one is winning. Let's count all the remaining votes including Michigan and Florida and then we'll talk, okay?

Charlotte   April 18th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

Someone up above said, delegates should support the candidate that won their state? What about Kennedy, Kerry and Richardson? Hillary won their states. Guess that only applies to states Obama won?

Jane MN   April 18th, 2008 7:03 pm ET

The headline is really misleading: 3 MORE superdelegates for Clinton? But the fact is Obama has got 1 more sup. than Clinton this week. It's funny Clinton and her camp have been constantly complaining about media bias.

NC Girl   April 18th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Within in the past few months Senator Obama has gain a total of 77 superdelegates and Senator Clinton has lost 2… That is with the gains today

WH   April 18th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

Obama still obtained more superdelegates this week than Clinton. Keep trying to cast Hillary in that golden light, CNN, you are about to get the same reputation as ABC.

Elena   April 18th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

DO NOT GIVE UP HILLARY, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!!!

There is no way that anyone can take Obama serious as a candidate.

How can anyone imagine he is the right person for the job when he has absolutely no experience? Are you thinking with your head? Would you put a person with no experience as a CEO and more of a supervisor role in charge of General Electric, Johnson & Johnson, or even the U.S. Government?

What can possible compell someone to vote for him?

Is it because of her bagage? Which one of us does not have it? Are we so perfect that nothing can be taken out of our closets?

Her family was put through some really hard times and yet they have all survived? And what's more, her child is an intelligent, vibrant, productive adult. Is that not the type of person we want to help raise our families prosperity? Do you think that someone like Barack has a clue as to what an American really feels if he thinks that those people from small towns are really bitter"?"

Several companies anounced over 10k more layoffs today? Are any of these related to you? If so, who do you think will fight for them? Mr Rich or Hillary who voted for the unemployment in her state to continue for an additional 6 months after September 11th?

Oh yes, speaking of Sept. 11th? At 3am when the phone rings, I want her to answer that phone, not him.

Democratic no matter who wins   April 18th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

It appears to me many Hillary supporters are fake Democrats! If your candidate does not get the nominee rather than support the Dems you all would sell out to the Repubs. What is the logic in that? That way of thinking is just plain ignorant. Just like the your choice in the candidate you have already chosen. Granted all politicians lie, but your horse is the master of deceit!

Bernice   April 18th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

These are people that hasgot to have been promised something for them to put themselves out front to go down with this sinking ship!

AZM   April 18th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

The DNC and Dean have shown what the democratic party thinks of you… who need them… RUN INDEPENENT!

Show the world… you could be the first viable third party ticket ever!
Change and Unity for real… not a punch line!

YAY OBAMA !!!!!

Hillary - You Suck!

Sue   April 18th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

Hillary Clinton has every right to stay in this race until the end of it. She earned it. I never heard of a presidential election enomination race starting almost 2 years prior to the election before. That is why everyone is so tired of this pre-election nomination Obama-Clinton race. But with the new internet and press coverage of the century we're enduring and having shoved down our throats constantly, she can really say that she hasn't stayed in too long.

Back when presidentual canidates used to start campaigning, they didn't announce their intentions until the 1st of the year, Jan 2008. With that said, These people started a year before. So, what's the hurry now? Let's be fair. Quit starting so early if you want to quit the race so early. You can't change the rules in the game in the middle of it. So let the game play out as it will. The best person will win. Go Hillary…….

kelly WI   April 18th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Yes, we do need NAFTA. 40% of our economy is trade. It's a GLOBAL economy now.
Guess what. Religion pre-dates Bush, it pre-dates Ohio, etc. Obama needs some history lessons.
He also needs lessons on the economy, foreign policy, and the Military.
The thought of him and Michelle hosting foreign dignataries is one big nightmare.!!! brrrrr, shudder.
Go read Real Clear Politcs. read people who know what they are talking about. I don't watch CNN or any of the left stream media.
Carter hates the Jews and Israel. Thank you Jimmy.

Smart people. Go Hillary or McCain!

The above blog says it all! Hillary ous supporters all say,vote Hillary (Bush Lite) or McBush. This is because there is so very little difference between them. They should just run together on the same lame ticket. McBush/Hillary 08

NObama   April 18th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

NO-bama! He is trying to STEAL the election. Mathematically he can't win! He needs to drop out of the race right NOW! He can't beat McCain!

Hillary Clinton 2008!!!

Johnny   April 18th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Time for Hillary to retire from this race…. there is plenty of work for her to do… in the United States Senate….

B in Fl   April 18th, 2008 6:54 pm ET

Funny how everyone wants a commitment " right now". Like, hurry up and secure Obamas nomination before all 50 states get to vote because the people are beginning to see what Obama really is. This election is so pathetic. Two majors states not counted, a quarter more states haven't even voted and every money man is Washington is pushing to either commit to Obama now or for Hillary to drop out. Don't you just love our democracy? I certainly hope the superdelegates and add on delegates have enough sense to see thru this farce of a campaign. Why bother voting anymore? Let's just go on and become a communist country out in the open. Let the politician determine our destiny. Picture this…America as a downtrodden third world country. Could happen. We're bankrupt and just won't admit it.

Chris - Penn State   April 18th, 2008 6:53 pm ET

Go Hillary! We're fired up and ready to go!

nikki NY   April 18th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

is it just me, or do I rightly understand that HRC didn't actually gain 3 superdelegates? Two of the three individuals named are not actually superdelegates, and so I think it's a bit misleading for HRC supporters and the CNN headline to tout this as indicative of notable progress for the Clinton campaign. Senator Obama, on the other hand, actually has added another FOUR supers to his total. My congratulations to the Obama camp!

Phrank   April 18th, 2008 6:52 pm ET

Look at the difference between the recent selections. Clinton's new delegates are still members of the same old line inner-city "White Ethnic" political organizations (since we're all in this together, I won't say machines) that are Clinton's remaining base. With Reich and Nunn , Obama's new delegates, the full range–from the most liberal to the most conservative–members of the party have been united in support. This is a good sign that after all the sound and fury dies down, Obama will be able to unify the Party

kayla   April 18th, 2008 6:51 pm ET

Obama sweeps all his friends under his carpet. The last one was Jimmy Carter. These three superdelegates for Clinton have chosen a faithful friend.

P   April 18th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

to Obama supporters: do you think you could post a comment to an article that does not contain an insult or a threat, and that does not ask one of the remaining candidates to pull out of the race before the end? Really, your aggressiveness and elitism is more divisive than Hillary, McCain, Bush, Rove, etc.

rachel   April 18th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

Good stuff, I was getting sick of the obama supporters.

Eddie   April 18th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Thank you, wait til they all hear Obama's friendly relationship to "Bill Ayers" the unrepentent bomber of Pentagon! I'm sure all the superdelegates will jump off Obama's ship & go to HILLARY's.

HILLARY is the electable candidate! The superdelegates will realize this, Obama is not vetted yet, we don't know this guy & his other shady deals around?

Here's the new line — "Obama can't take the heat".
Approach number 100 in a campaign with more personalities than Sybil.

Since being forced to admit Obama can win against McCain in what sounded eerily like Meg Ryan's character in "When Harry Met Sally" faking the experience, she can no longer sell the superdelegates he is unelectable.

What's the next argument from Hillary? He's too young to take on the "Old Man"?

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 18th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

Pennsylvania, please Hillary the "knock out punch" she so deserves. There are too many of Hillary's own political supporters that are endorsing Obama. Those endorsers don't like the way Hillary is handling herself as many democrats don't. Hillary is campaigning the old dirty nasty way politics are played and that has a lot to do with getting nothing done in Washington.

So what everybofy knows some older women like Hilarious.

democracy?   April 18th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Obama's poor performance on Wed. debate is a preview of how he will perform when under Republican's attach. Sometimes he even seemed lost his own trend of thought when answering the important issues.

The more I read, and learned, the more I realize people who are for obama are willing to accept him no matter what.

Count in MI and FL, Hillary will have popular vote. and then we will see who will in.

Charlotte   April 18th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Hillary is the best choice for this country. I think she should drop out of this rigged primary and run as an Independent in November. I would be proud, for the first time in my adult life, to vote for an Independent.

Lynnette   April 18th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

This is getting crazier by the day. I like the comment that Obama is dividing the party. What does it say about the Democratic Party [who by the way has mostly supported Obama] regarding Hillary Clinton? I tell you what we say "We don't want Hillary and some of us were looking for someone else to lead our party."
This woman has divided the party with her tactics, lying, and self-importance. Just because she was first lady doesn't mean that she's qualified to be President.
Any superdelegate that backs her now is really putting their political lives on the line because when she loses, she won't be grateful at all and will blame some of them for not convincing the other superdelegates to back her.

GARY   April 18th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

This is OK It is only a drop in a bucket of water when you think about the huge super delegate lead that she had before the Iowa caucus.

Bob   April 18th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Your article said two of these Stupid er.. Super Delagates committed to the monster 'Last Year'. YAWN This is not news just propaganda.

Tom - Michigan   April 18th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Yes, a Betty Suttons reason for backing Hillary, she flat out said she did because Hillary was a woman.

Nice to know you're backing Hillary because of your sexist views.

Mike   April 18th, 2008 6:24 pm ET

It amazes me that after twenty years of a horrible Clinton/Bush dynasty where these crooks made millions while sending our jobs to China. That anyone would be stupid enough to support 4 to 8 more years of a pseudo democracy under another Clinton. In Obama we have a fresh, untainted dedicated, intelligent alternative. If we blow this election we will have only ourselves to blame for more war and more corruption.

David   April 18th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Why is it that the McCain, and Hillary supporters always seem to be PISSED OFF and always tend to pick on everything and Blame Obama.

Aren't we trying to CHANGE that? The world should not work that way. It seems so childish and immature. We are suppose to be the role models for the rest of the world.

It's like were having a civil war with each other and it's keeping us from the bigger picture. That's why Obama will win, and that's why Obama gaines the strongest support. It's not about pointing the finger, it's not about self-righteousness. It's about our country and helping the rest of the world get it's feet off the ground again so the republicans can come in and mess everything up.

GO OBAMA!

you folks are pretty dumb on this blog aren't you all? Clinton didnt gain 3 more super delegates today, she gained one. The other 2 ex governors will be counted as supees on technicalities for some weird reasons. They both endorsed her last year and are both pledged delees.

Joe   April 18th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

This is not news it is propaganda. Even your own article says these delagates committed to the monster 'last year' Yawn.

That anyone would be stupid enough to support 4 to 8 more years of a pseudo democracy under another Clinton. In Obama we have a fresh, untainted dedicated, intelligent alternative. If we blow this election we will have only ourselves to blame for more war and more corruption.

Ilona Proud Canadian   April 18th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

Am I misinterpreting this article? Some one please clarify this for me.

Second paragraph says Florio and Byrne endorsed Sen. Clinton last year. How does this work, they endorsed her last year and again today? So they vote twice? I guess if this is the case this is no big deal! Obviously if they backed her last year it is expected that they will back her as a super delegate.

Absolutely not news worthy. The Clinton campaign is just show-casing this!!!!!!!!

Its got to be Hillary   April 18th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

That's my girl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you show them, and there is still more to come Go!!!! Hillary GO!!!!!!!

kay   April 18th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Funny how Hillary BLATANTLY admitted that She lied during the ABCdebate…Now look who's the dishonest one!!! About 35 years of experience. My husband is an IT Guy, and I am a Finance girl…Does this qualify me to go and apply for an IT job out there just because my huband is an IT Guy?
Hillary's 35 years of experience and recreating her image to fit every state's culture in America–IS ONE Big phony..A true Liar!!!!

Used to like the Lady, but now, she's flipped flopped more than the biggest flip flopper in the Guiness book of world Records!!!

Nick in Las Vegas   April 18th, 2008 6:15 pm ET

Congratulations Senator Clinton! Now if every other superdelegate whould get their head on straight! Enough with Obama.

Former Obama Supporter   April 18th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

I wish the media would talk about this. They always make a big deal when Obama picks up superdelegates.

Jack in ND   April 18th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

""If a Superdelegate is a true American they would have to back Clinton. Amen!""

Hey Buddy…do me a favor and go pitch that very logic to the superdelegates themselves.

As an Obama supporter, I really really want you to!

David   April 18th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

Wouldn't it make sense to give focus to the candidate that gained more super delegates? Just a thought. Because it looks like the super delegates are about to open their eyes.

Alice   April 18th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

why does this headline say "Three More Superdelegates for Clinton" when the purported new superd's endorsed her LAST YEAR??? How is that 3 MORE?

And the article ends with Obama adding 4 superdelegates this week.

Why isn't the headline "Obama Gains 4 Superdelegates this Week" since that would be accurate?

Just wonderin' . . .

Rob   April 18th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

The super delegates are smart and will vote for Clinton. They know that Obama is a mistake. And they know that people are making the wrong choice in supporting him. In the end Hillary will be the nominee and the next president.

Kim   April 18th, 2008 6:12 pm ET

Yay Yay Yay! You Go Go Go Girl! Yay Yay Go Go….. umm where was I ? Oh yeah, Yay Yay You Go Girl.

Super Delegate   April 18th, 2008 6:11 pm ET

If I recall correctly Sen Obama received 6 new NC super delegates and as of today he received an additional 4 one of which was a Clinton Supporter with a conscience!
Supporting Hillary is supporting a liar and therefore you have no conscience!

Grif   April 18th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Hillary you will have to decide within the next few weeks…. You Are Not A Democrat….. You Married one…. Period.

Mike   April 18th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Three more Super delagates. Woo Hoo, whats that give her now? Four! (And what did she have to promise them?)

Emma CA   April 18th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

The superdelegates are hopefully astute enough to know that it would be
adversarial of them to over-ride the wishes of the voters after both small and large states have their say. That has the potential to increase numbers of the Independent Party.

Is a presidential person one who belittles their opponent and wants all their cohorts to join them in the belittling? If some of our candidates engage in this behavior when they appear to be losing, I am ashamed of how their behavior might trickle down through a nation.

disgruntled in CA   April 18th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

I love how each Obama superdelegate gets their own story/headline, but Hillary's get grouped in one small story.

I think the Democrats are in big trouble if Obama gets the nomination. It will be a repeat of the past 2 elections where the Dems can't manage to pull it off in the end!

AZM   April 18th, 2008 6:08 pm ET

The supers have seen what's been going on with Obama…
DO THE RIGHT THING!… Run him out of town…

Let him preach Change and Unity (LOL) to his own cronies!

Chris in Va.   April 18th, 2008 6:07 pm ET

I guess these "supers" support liars.

Chris, Silicon Valley, CA, USA   April 18th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Math question for people who don't want superdelegates to go against the national majority:

Then, why have them?

PA Democrat   April 18th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

Buddy IF you had a brain you would see all of Hillary's lies, you would see that Bill got $800,000 from Columbia, you would see that her top campaign man Penn met with the Columbians, you would see that she voted for NAFTA, you would see…..
Oh what the hell its USELESS talkin to someone without a brain!!

Marnie   April 18th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

You GO Hillary! NEVER give up! The insignificant, self serving, small minded misogynists who deserted you are not even worth the time spent to discuss them. In spite of gross media bias, misogyny and unprincipled opportunists rushing to feather their own dirty nests, YOU WILL triumph!! MOST people believe that you are the best candidate for president.

HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We love you!

Matt   April 18th, 2008 6:04 pm ET

That's right, CNN. Keep downplaying Hillary's good news by upstaging her with even better news for Obama.
CNN is so pathetically biased.

sean   April 18th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

wow, that's about as sad as if you were to see people jumping ONTO the sinking titanic…..dillusional

Lois, California   April 18th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

This is good news. But, I hate to keep harping but if Obama is the nominee, which I conclude he'll be, I won't vote for him. I will not vote for McCain either. I will stay home. I'm sure the majority of Hillary's supporters feel the same way. It breaks my heart to see some of the horrible things a fellow democrat writes about another democrat. Mr. Obama had better call on his followers and tell them to put a sock in it or it will spell doom for him in November. And remember all you Obama supporters. Hillary has Half the Electorate!

Sherylanne   April 18th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Democrat voting for McCain… so it will be a bye bye bama song we will see.

Obama may win the battle but he will never win the war… so Obamacans dream on……………

Super Delegate   April 18th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Well if I recall correctly Sen. Obama received a total of 6 new NC super delegates and as of today 4 more one of which was a former Clinton supporter.
Shhh dont tell anyone I said so but word on the street is ~
The dishonest ones without a conscience will back a liar!

Mike from tx   April 18th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

Loser backing a LOSER …….Period.

hillaryskank on myspace   April 18th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Hillary will never be fit to be president, ever! She is not even fit to be a former first lady!

Ronald   April 18th, 2008 5:58 pm ET

Keeping the nightmare alive . . . they are delusional.

Trev   April 18th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

It shows that Obama = not ready for the general election.

Robert New York City & Miami, Florida   April 18th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

Obama all the way????

Enjoy your moment in the sun. Come November Obama will be a looser like Kerry.

Democrats hardly ever choose with their brains. This country will not go for the #1 Liberal. Clinton won because he was a Centrist.

Enjoy it now, Obanists, because your man will be digested alive by McCain the Mummy.

Rashane Kansas   April 18th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

well thats good for her but I TRULY hope that they are ready to unite behind OBAMA when he gets this NOMINATION!!! democrats must unite

OBAMA 08 … starting to rack up Hilliary's super delegates too! (the ones with sane minds)

Tim from Eugene OR.   April 18th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Add on's LOL,LOL,LOL! Why are actual superdelegates so hard for her to attract? Why is she in debt to state vendors? Why can't she raise enough money to keep from being out spent? Why is she losing? Why are her supporters so mad at Obama? Her supporters should be mad at her, not at Obama for blowing it. Wake up ding dong the witch is dead, the witch is dead at least her chance of winning is.

Those of her supporters that say the will vote for McWar who have kids of draft age should think twice before they throw their vote to McWar, who said " there will be more wars". Our military is near broken now where do you think he will be getting new troops for his predicted new wars. Vote for McWar out of spite that Hillary blew it and don't you dare cry when your children are called up to serve in the military.

VOTE DEMOCRAT 08 GO OBAMA GOD BLESS AMERICA

Adios!!! Hillbillery   April 18th, 2008 5:55 pm ET

LOL!!! Bye Bye HILLBILLERY See Ya Sista

Sue   April 18th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

What a wast of your votes. We don't twant Washington politics anymore. The super Delegate better hear the American people loud and clear. If you choose Hillary from the back door politics, you will not have you positions the next time an election rolls around. We have had enough.

North Carolina   April 18th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Thank you, Gov.'s Florio, Byrne, and Corzine. I admire your willingness to do the right thing, even though it's not popular with the media. As a North Carolina voter, I am grateful you did not succumb to the pressure to tell Sen. Clinton to drop out and leave me with no choice of candidate.

mitch from ark.   April 18th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

if they endorsed clinton last year,then,who cares?they have plenty of time to change their minds,and jump on the train!

Cowboy Jack   April 18th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

A liberal state like New Jersey has superdelegates who are endorsing Hillary?????

OH NO, better be careful… Obama's supporters must boycott New Jersey

Ben   April 18th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

Losers backing losers…I feel so sorry for Hillary…

Biased much?   April 18th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

So the blurb about Reich endorsing Obama gets to be on the CNN frontpage and this blurb gets buried? Ten bucks says the Reich link stays on the frontpage until Monday while this one will be out of sight out of mind before day's end. Thanks for the consistently biased news reporting CNN.

Cowboy Jack   April 18th, 2008 5:52 pm ET

Wow, Jack Cafferty and Anderson Cooper must not be happy about this…..

Patricia P. in Austin, TX   April 18th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Still behind.

Oscar, Rio Vista, CA   April 18th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Who in New Jersey do you trust? Florio and Byrne or The Boss!!!

Bruce Springsteen means more than two former governors.

LOSERS backing LOSERS

ALL ABOARD! ALL ABOARD! ALL BOARD!

TRAIN LEAVING THE STATON
LAST CALL FOR HILLARY'S SUPPORTER TO JUMP ON
OBAMA ALL THE WAY

D   April 18th, 2008 5:47 pm ET

Seriously, if superdelegate decide this contest and not the popular vote, we might be looking at some serious violence erupting throughout the country.

shaun   April 18th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

It's funny how cnn continues to try anything they can to make hillary clinton look like she can win. Three "more" superdelegates"…"More"
Makes it seem like hillarys just been stacking super after super when she's closer to a net gain of 1 since super tuesday. barack has gained about 50 since.

Glenn; Delta, PA.   April 18th, 2008 5:46 pm ET

Even if they split the rest of the supers, which I don't think will happen, Obama still has the popular vote amd more states. It's going to be an interesting next 6 weeks.

Shannon   April 18th, 2008 5:45 pm ET

Good for them, Obama is the most divisive candidate to ever run in the Democratic party. I know I will be going third party if he is the nominee. Democrats don't try to suppress the vote, or prevent millions from voting as Obama is doing.. Democrats don't vote for the Cheney Energy bill as Obama did. Democrats don't trash former democratic presidents, and bring up old sex scandals like Obama did. Obama looked right into the camera and lied during the debate the other night. He filled out the survey on gun control, it was in his hand writing, and he lied about it. Politics of hope and change, sure has a nasty side. Read any Obama supporter's post, and everyone of them will have an insult in them. They can't write a sentence without attacking someone. Hope and change, what a joke.

Jeff   April 18th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

From what I hear Obama and many of his supporters people have been complaining how he was picked on during the debate.
Besides this debate, SNL, and Lou Dobbs on CNN
Nobody has asked Obama any hard questions and everyone has piled onto Hillary.
If she does good they say it was because she had soft questins. There is always an excuse for her doing well and an excuse favouring Obama.
I hate him and wish Hillary would win. but i am afraid most of the media is against her.
So my hope is she looses in PA, and then retires from politics on April 22. She then will not be have to or be required to work and help Obama get elected. Her supporters then will not feel preasure to vote for Obama since Hillary retired. Since Hillary wold not be a democrat anymore her side will be free agents.
Then I know in the general when Obama and the dems go up against McCain and many Hillary supporters will be able to vote for McCain.

Then 4 years from now the dems can ask Hillary to un-retire and go up against McCain in 2012

no to obama   April 18th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

obama is unfit to be president of this country.

Buddy   April 18th, 2008 5:44 pm ET

If a Superdelegate is a true American they would have to back Clinton. Amen!

D Frank   April 18th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

These three Superdelegates obviously thought it through and got it!!!

The fact of the matter is that Obama has not addressed the question of why he continues to support a RACIST Minister and makes elitist derogatory comments on folks to whom he does not relate. This shows lack of good judgement. Even when he placed this Racist Minister on his Campaign team and he knew very well Wright's position with respect to white Americans, Italians Jews, Catholics and any other race or religion.

And because of this, Obama's support of this man, speaks to the issue of Obama's lacking in credibility.

People who vote should not select FOR or AGAINST a candidate because of their religion, sexual preference, race, national origin, gender, economic condition, AGE or any other such differentiator.

They should place their votes based on objective analysis in order to select the most qualified person and not because it seems to be the "in" thing (like a lot of white pseudo- educated elitist)

We all hope that the other Superdelegates can give some serious sober thought to their choice and if they do so, then they will conclude that the only serious choice is HILLARY and good bye to NOBAMA and please go back to Chicago and help your good buddy Reszo because he needs it.

kathleen retired Professional w/woman for obama   April 18th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

She must have threatened or put the heat on, right before
the PA Primaries. Please, superdelagetes, don't bother
unless you owe her or Bill your lively hood, or your life.

Adam   April 18th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Heh…gotta love that the headline trumpets "Three more superdelegates for Clinton" and that the last line is "Obama claimed four new superdelegate supporters this week."

Shouldn't the headline be Obama reduces superdelegate gap as he gains 4 to Clinton's 3."

Arkansas Undertaker   April 18th, 2008 5:42 pm ET

Can you say "LOOSERS"! She is done folks. Stick a fork in Billary.

Josh   April 18th, 2008 5:41 pm ET

Clinton gets less Supers this week than Obama. Clinton continues to lose. Go away Clinton. You're costing the party in your hunger for power.

Lincoln returns in Obama'08
