(CNN) - New Mexico Sen. Jeff Bingaman announced Monday he'll cast his crucial superdelegate vote for Barack Obama.
“To make progress, we must rise above the partisanship and the issues that divide us to find common ground. We must move the country in a dramatically new direction," Bingaman said in a statement released by the Obama campaign. “I strongly believe Barack Obama is best positioned to lead the nation in that new direction.”
Bingaman is one of the party's nearly 800 superdelegates who will decide which candidate wins the Democratic nomination. Clinton's current superdelegate lead over Obama is now just over 20, though more than 300 have yet to announce who they will support.

Fool.
There you go! Another good decision! Smart move!
Add another SuperDelegate. That is his 5th in 7 Days since the PA Primary.
In 1 week, he has already erased 1/2 of the delegates Clinton gained in PA.
Obama 08

THE TIDE IS TURNING : )
Obama 08
Tick, tick, tick.......
And another Superdelegate is looking to the Future instead of living in the Past!!!
Go Obama!
Guess Bill gave Jeff some of the Kool Aid
Welcome aboard, there will be others joining you.
Hmm, another idiot going AGAINST the wishes of the voters in his state. When (Obama) loses, the idiot is going to have a hard time getting re-elected. Maybe he can ask Obama how he can become a "community organizer" (i.e. unemloyed).
Smart man Jeff, and thank you, thank you, thank you. We will WIN!!
O8AMA
I thank God for his decision and hope the other superdelegates get the hint so we can move the party forward. There is no mathetical way
Hilliary can win but she can continue to destroy the party. Superdelegates do whats good for the Democrates because I can promise you that if you decide to take it away from Obama america has not seen anything yet.
Way to go Sen. Bingaman!!
what ...how?
CNN- you have been saying..
Hillary has the momentum after she won PA (though you have been saying that Hillary would PA since March)
Hillary is ahead is polls
Hillary has better chances to win GE
Hillary is ahead in popular votes
Yet
Why are these superdelegates flocking towards Obama?
Are they reading something else? What is GOING ON???
LET'S GO OBAMA!!!
I urge all Clinton supporters to unite under the democratic party!!
if you have seen your wages go down, gas prices go up, many of our children killed in a war Bush lied his way into while he jokes away at parties this past weekend when people are dying
THEN PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, WHICHEVER ONE IS THE NOMINEE
WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BUSH/MCCAIN!!!
DEMCORATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, and we want some more, please.
MO
Guess the Supers aren't listening today to all the faux poll outcomes. What fools the media is. Thinking polls will sway voters.
