(CNN) – Barack Obama picked up four more superdelegates Thursday, his campaign announced.

Washington Rep. Jim McDermott, California Rep. Henry Waxman, California Rep. Henry Berman and Communications Workers of America President Larry Cohen will all cast their superdelegate votes for the Illinois senator.

Waxman and Berman both have ties to the Clintons, and many of their prominent supporters in California are supporters of Hillary Clinton.

The CWA said Thursday that Cohen's endorsement is a personal one and does not signal an endorsement by the union, which decided last year that it would not back a candidate. In a Thursday release, the union said that decision would be re-visited at its June convention.

According to CNN's estimate, Obama now has 291 superdelegates to Clinton's 274.

Ask not what you can do for the great Obama, ask what has the great Obama done for his country?

We love you Hillary but the barrack train is moving. This is not about you or Barrack. Its about us, barrack how does that student pell grant situations works again

Barrack the vote 08

Ted   May 15th, 2008 3:59 pm ET

Ted Kennedy took it to the convention when he was behind by 800 delegates.

Hillary is much tighter and has the same right under the democratic party rules.

I will never vote for Obama.

writing billary in on the ballot in nov. aint gonna work, all you lame hillary losers

enomisa   May 15th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

I expect there will be a non-racist white, insulted women, denigrated poor, and elderly voter backlash against Obama in Nov.

Superdelegates are making it worse.

We want Hillary Clinton

Marc PDX   May 15th, 2008 3:58 pm ET

I'm a republican and I wish the dems would hurry up and pick a candidate so we can get on with the national election. Jeez – how indecisive can you be!

DAN   May 15th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Obama is just unelectable in Nov. He's a phony and a liar who is trying to disenfranchise millions of voters. He needs his advisers to tell him what to do, he needs his speech writers and tele prompters to talk and he thinks there's 59 states. Good luck!

Independent for Obama   May 15th, 2008 3:57 pm ET

Keep 'em coming! Not too many more and this thing will finally be over, so we can get together and TAKE ON McCAIN!!!

POST already, CNN!

Too late   May 15th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

Obama is such a weak candidate that even all the Superdelegates won't be able to save him.

They are trying to salvage, their own early poor judgement in backing Obama.

His appeal has peaked.

Write in Hillary Clinton in Nov.

Charles Nilston   May 15th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

I will always pray for America that they make the right choice but the media should learn to sieve whatever they think,its beginning to affect people.Politics is politics and cannot be played like other games.Change would really help America.One thing that needs to be changed is lack of Unity,racism

Unity   May 15th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Hippee!!!!!!

p.s Obama supporters stop bashing Clinton Supporters we need them in the fall ………….

plz Clinton supporters support the democratic team …. i can't talk for every Obama supporter so you Obama supprters join in ………….. and reconcile with the clinton supporters ..

we cannot win without them ……………………. so stop saying that …….

UNITY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More props   May 15th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

Oprah didn't do it.
The celebrity Democratic families- Kennedy/Kerry/Shriver- didn't do it
The celebrity fest of rock stars and rappers and sport figures didn't do i.t
Threatening HRC supporters at caucus didn't do it.
Trashing, bashing and mocking Hillary Clinton didn't do it.
Denying the vote to Fl and Mi didn't do it
Blocking the revote in Fl and Mi didn't do it.
The race card didn't do it.
Will the Superdelegates be able to prop Obama up when all else failed?

Hillary or McCain   May 15th, 2008 3:55 pm ET

I tried to post this under Michelle's article, but comments were closed, so I'll put it here.

Aww, Michelle's gonna start crying now just like Barack has been all along. What about all the hateful things that were said about Chelsea Clinton by you disgusting hate-filled Obamabots? If Michelle can't stand the heat she should get out of the kitchen or not say stupid hate-filled things or write anti-American thesis or attend racist churches and raise her children in them.

And it's only the beginning – I can't wait! This is gonna be fun :)

Machiavelli; Bagton Rouge, LA   May 15th, 2008 3:52 pm ET

At this point in the campaign, I think it is futile to comment or maybe even report that Obama is picking up additional superdelegates. He has regained the momentum in this race after North Carolina/Indiana. Is there anything new and interesting going on between the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees?

Mighty mice   May 15th, 2008 3:51 pm ET

The mighty DEMs in the DNC allowed Obama to divide the party by playing the race card in SC and over and over again thereafter.

No one stood up to say, what? The Clintons racists?

Now they will see a Nov backlash against the DNC.

TOO LATE FOR UNITY

FEDUP   May 15th, 2008 3:50 pm ET

Why is Obama suddenly wearing a flag pin? He wouldn't be pandering now would he? Nah, he's above that? Write in Hillary Clinton in November!!!!!!

Did any of the "superdelegates" hear Obama the times he referred to women as "sweetie?"

dave   May 15th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

What I don't understand is John Edwards' rationale for backing Obama. He says he's doing it so as not to split the democratic party but he has repeatedly spoken of "not to forget the poor and impoverish" which both Obama and Clinton had pledged not to do when Edwards left the race.

Hillary Clinton has overwhelmingly won that vote in Nevada, CA, NM, Texas, PA, NJ & WV.

So someone clear this up for me: is John Edwards just a big HYPOCRITE or he just playing old-fashioned politics? I thought he was for the common man.

signed, another dem who will vote dem only if Hillary is on the ticket or will write her in on the ballot.

Rebekah   May 15th, 2008 3:45 pm ET

I do not understand why smart thinking people do not realize that Senator Obama is merely our present day 'Peanut Farmer' Presidential Candidate. If Obama becomes President, that presidency will be much the same as Jimmy Carter's presidency…..in a word, it will be a disaster! John McCain's presidency will be four more years of the Bush legacy, just more economic disaster. Thus, Hillary Clinton is clearly the best choice for President. She has the experience, the savvy, and the support she needs in order to undue much of the damage caused by the Bush Presidency. I seriously wish people would wake up and do the smart thing and put their support behind Hillary Clinton. I have. I am so convinced that she is the only viable choice for the presidency, that if she is not the nominee I will not be voting in November!

Donovan - Phoenix   May 15th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Please stop the bleeding Hillary. We admire your courageousness and you've run an amazing campaign. Please Bow out

for the good of the democratic party   May 15th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

keep them coming…i think this qualifies as a flood…about 40 superdelegates in 9 days…wow

Clinton supporters keeping bad-mouthing superdelegates….it shows how mean spirited they really are. I wish they would realize that Obama won't be denied. Instead of being gracious and recognizing that, they are prepared to take this to the convention and that is unacceptable. We as democrats should start aiming are fire at John McBush. If we do that, the democrats will take the white house in an unprecedented fashion. I have no doubt that It will be a Reagan type victory where we win an astounding victory. So democrats unite

say NO to failed bush policies on IRAQ
say NO to failed bush policies on ECONOMY
say NO to failed bush policies on HEALTHCARE
say NO to failed bush policies on EDUCATION
say NO to failed bush policies on ENVIRONMENT

TRUE democrats will unite around Obama due to the MAJOR policy differences between Mccain. Democrats who don't are the scum of society and shouldn't be considered true democrats anyway.

MD Houston   May 15th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

Four more reasons to hope Hillary wins the nomination.

green, pa   May 15th, 2008 3:44 pm ET

and they are slowly trickling his way. Hillary if you had any chance of winning its slim to none now as more and more of the superdelegates are endorsing the presumptive nominee Barack Obama!

Ray Ito   May 15th, 2008 3:43 pm ET

Superdelegates should quit dragging their feet. McCain is consolidating his base while valuable time is being wasted. Every minute is very crucial toward the Dems winning the November elections.

Wasting time will jeopardize the Dems chances of winning – except they take the general elections for granted – then they're doomed to lose.

With your visionary leadership, we can re-claim America from the corporate lobbyists and special interests and move this country to unprecedented heights of prosperity, tranquility, security, and stability for all. In addition, you will restore the rest of the world's faith, trust and confidence in its greatest nation, the good old U.S. of A.

simeon martin   May 15th, 2008 3:40 pm ET

My comment is this, I strongly think that the Delegates in florida / michigan should be counted and alotted equally to the three Candidates, Clinton , Obama And Edwards if ever they are to be included. No one person is entitled to them for no campaigning was done at all. Thank you;

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….the sound of rushing Supers.

Sukie in Oregon   May 15th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

Hillary Clinton wants results to be known in all 50 states (or is it 57?). That is why she continues campaigning.

In 2012, when Michelle, er, Barack Obama is tossed out of the White House, Hillary Clinton will have an impressive record from which to begin her 2012 campaign.

And at that time, all these "super delegates," who will be voting the way THEY want to, now how the voters want them to, will be scurrying for cover from their angry constituents.

Mary in Alabama   May 15th, 2008 3:35 pm ET

I admire and respect Berman and Waxman for their messages upon endorsing Obama. The sooner this thing ends with Hillary Clinton the the better for the Democrats. Obama needs a rest before launching a full scale battle with John McCain. Clinton is denying him that rest – probably on purpose.

Robert in Toronto,ON   May 15th, 2008 3:34 pm ET

If Obama does well next Tuesday, he can wrap up this Nomination before June. Without the seating of the Michigan and Florida delegates.

Btw, those are BIG endorcements that he recieved today.

ForBetterWorld   May 15th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

That's a total of 180 deligates lead. This is bad, even if I am looking to see now of how I would do in 2012 primary in the rest of the states. By lasting this till late, I am ruining my chances of running in 2012 too, forget about 2008.

Everett Plummer   May 15th, 2008 3:29 pm ET

Paul Atumu   May 15th, 2008 3:15 pm ET

This is the time for Hillary Clinton to leave the race. Anymore delay is an attempt to give an undue advantage to John McCain, because her continued stay in the presidential primary would not only destroy the democratic pary but give a McBash another chance to remain in the white house. So I use this medium to call on all Democrats to put whatever pressure is neccessary on her to step down now!!!.

Alston   May 15th, 2008 3:14 pm ET

Its in the bag for Obama .. been that way ever since Edwards supported him.

Those of Hillary's supporters that say they will vote McCain to get back at Obama are like the way she described them.. 'uneducated white voters'.

Its unsurprising how the educated voter can see past the skin color and the usual political rhetoric. while the uneducated fall at the first hurdle… they only see a black man.

Rich   May 15th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

These would have carried more weight if they had come earlier. Now they just look like parasites lining up for a seat at the table.

And what about the Obamabots' cry that superdelegates follow the will of the people? By the latest count, if superdelegates had voted with their states, Hillary would be ahead. I guess the "will of the people" only counts if it puts Obama ahead. Face it, Obama is just another politician – only without any experience or record to fall back on. If this guy is President, he'll be a disaster.

tigerakabj   May 15th, 2008 3:12 pm ET

It's the Obama choo-choo train.

Let's get this general election started and wipe the floor w/McSame and Bush. Bush, I don't take to kindly to you insulting President Obama and the Democrats like that. You won't be talking as much when he puts you on trial for war crimes.

Senator McCain in following in President Bush footsteps. Arrogance and force does not make peace, but further antagonize the opposition. If the GOP plans to use ignorance to win the election, there is something to say about the electorate.

juang   May 15th, 2008 3:02 pm ET

Well, since Clinton was the one to say it during super Tuesday, I guess it has come back to haunt her;

The Clintons have been the tyrants of the Democratic party since Bill took office and their days are ending. Every time I read of another endorsement from a high ranking Democrat I imagine Hillary in the Senate chamber getting it like Julius Caesar and I smile.

The Clinton reign over the party is over, it will return to the people.

Hillary … are you able to see the handwriting on the wall yet? Ane just how many superdelegates is it that you've picked up since your overwhelming victory in old, white and ignorant West Virginia? I know … I know … Puerto Rico is going to be a critical turning point, right?

Obama is now becoming prepared to take the nomination and organize democrats for the general election. Americans should put partisanship, gender, race, and any other divisive social issue aside and vote for the person best able to unite the country, end the war, and create a better America. America is kind of sucking right now which is why people are craving for a new direction so much. Obama in 08.

You are all welcome to the winning team. Hillary only thinks she is still in the race; the race has been over for some time. But please don’t let her know… it’s a secret we are keeping from her. She is basically running against herself, like a hamster running on a wheel getting nowhere. Obama will resume to work at ova office in January. Hillary will still be running.

Too bad for them because Americans are not going to vote for Obama, not because he is black, but because of the baggage, his arrogance, his inexperience and because he is dangerous for this country.

Mark   May 15th, 2008 2:49 pm ET

Of course he did!

It's over – but the denial remains.

Dina   May 15th, 2008 2:48 pm ET

This is great. I'm fro California and I found it interesting how Clinton won the primary here yet none of the SDs from our state had yet to come out and endorse her which is of a significant number. Just ready to finaly get this party united and put the buffoon out of the oval office ASAP!

The rich men are busy at work. Half of them supporting Obama so that a woman doesn't get into the Oval office and half of them because they know Obama will be the weaker candidate against McCain. The backroom deals are a flying! God our government is disgusting.

Rick   May 15th, 2008 2:42 pm ET

With all the delegates and endorsements headed in Obama's direction, has anyone else noticed that Terry McAulliffe (Clinton campaign manager) sounds increasingly like Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf (former Iraqi Information Minister).

And do not worry what your (our) adversaries say, whether they critisize you on Hamas or whatever, just like MCCain is doing. Just like Mr President is suggesting. He is not God. He is not always right.That is why the economy is like it is now.Failed policies on every front. Go Obama. Go. We need a breath of fresh air.

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   May 15th, 2008 2:40 pm ET

Well, we know this race is over. We’re just waiting on Al Gore and Nancy Pelosi endorsement next. And as Obama stated yesterday, it's time for Edwards (which he has done) and Clinton to support him.

To the Clintonites:
It is time for us to join forces to defeat McCain in November. Let's put our differences aside. Join us.

YES WE CAN!

I think where the article says "The CWA said Thursday that Cohen's endorsement is a personal one and does signal an endorsement by the union, which decided last year that it would not back a candidate." it means "does not signal"

He also pick up 6 more from South Carolina…..So do that mean Obama today has pick up 10 superdelegates too Hillary 0 pick up today……..Just wondering……If so this move is really saying something about Hillary……

Freddy   May 15th, 2008 2:28 pm ET

Everyone is going to jump on the bandwagon without thinking for themselves. Oh look..he is endorsing Obama so I'm going to also so I don't look like a loser. PULEASE…give me a break. You're all lemmings. Supporting someone so you don't look like a racist.

Jeannette from Hawaii   May 15th, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Fabulous news!

Is there any way CNN can update the delegate count under the ELECTIONS section quicker so we know how close he is to getting the "magic number" that cinches the nomination?

For example, above is the story about the new superdelegates casting their votes for Obama. However if you click on CNN's ELECTIONS section, it doesn't look like its been updated for a while.

Or another way to say it is this way:
Is it possible when the story like the one above is released, the Superdelegate count can be updated at the same time in the ELECTIONS section?

Many thanks!

Marilyn   May 15th, 2008 2:17 pm ET

When watching the campaign of Barack Obama, from the very beginning, with everything concerned, through out, I have known he is the one to lead our country. I tune in to CNN the minute I am home from work, but I also am online at break and lunch to be current on updates with he and Hillary Clinton. This has been very exciting for me this year. I am a backer of Barack Obama and count minute by minute his successes as one who really shows us he has the "how to" to run our country. I cannot wait to cast my ballot in November, especially if Barack Obama's name is there.

60 year old white female, Mo   May 15th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Hillary you are all done… Its over… for the good of the Party… its time for you to support Obama…No more negatives tricks…

Dolores   May 15th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Thank you superdelegates. Hopefully voters will see the light as these former Clinton supporters cast their votes for Senator Obama. Being tied to the Clinton machine in the past, they are aware of something that is not really known by most of us, lurking in the background of this long drawn out campaign. The Clintons must not go back into the White House. As a senior citizen, I applaud their decision. We do need and desire real change and that translates to Senator Barack Obama as the next President of our country.

Tired of all the Flap   May 15th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

Let's remember, George W. Bush is an ididt and by the White House saying that he was not talking to anyone in particular shows that he was also calling the American People that has the same ideas "foolish delusions." I guess people will think now that Obama has to denounce that nonsense. I call for the impreachment of GEORGE W. BUSH's foolishness that comes out of his inarticulate mouth.

Belle   May 15th, 2008 2:15 pm ET

when you are able to pay superdelegates more money than your opponent, then you start swinging more votes your way…

do act like a bunch of democrats don't realize this…. the superdelegate is as undemocratic as you can get…

Oh! The Irony   May 15th, 2008 2:11 pm ET

The flood gates have opened. Receive the strong rush of delegates happily. Ahhhhhhhhhh so refreshing.

OBAMA GIRL   May 15th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Awwww Yeah!!! We're on a roll….how many have HRC picked up since her HUGE win in WV? Guess the rest of America knows the real deal.

I actually think Hillary should stay in the race. Let the people speak in the remaining primaries and then maybe she's look at the numbers and realize that the American people want Obama. The numbers don't lie.

Even if they gave her the delegates and votes from MI & FL she still would be behind.

But then again she'll think of something else.

mommagirl   May 15th, 2008 2:09 pm ET

It seems like everyone is a little nervous about Hillary's pull with the average Joe demographic. Edwards endorsement and his ship dumping delegates have a made a clear statement. "We can't let Hillary win anything else because it HIGHLIGHTS Obama's weaknesses"
"God forbid everybody knows how weak he is in some key demographics. Lets rally around him and protect him from the world according to Hillary and all her supporters before the cat's out of the bag."
John Edwards, you are a coward and a sucker. If your vying for an important position under Obama, you just paid with your soul to get it.

disenfranchised   May 15th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

I feel bad for all these super delegates who are going to have buyers remorse, I dont care who endorces him, he isnt going to win the general. Hes made too many enemys and has too much baggage. Sounds to me like Obama owes alot of favors out there! sounds like old politics to me. I am voting for Clinton anyway. I will write her in.

rehoboth ng   May 15th, 2008 2:08 pm ET

I can see clearly now that the terminus is nearer than I had earlier thought. So much touting and emphasis on blue collar and white collar workers. Are they not willing to be free from their delusion that Hillary will win? There is still space for everyone in Obama bus. They are welcome on board.

Shaq314   May 15th, 2008 2:07 pm ET

I am so glad that the superdelegates are starting to endorse one of the candidates. More importantly, I am excited that they are supporting Obama. I believe that America wants change and Barack Obama definitely is CHANGE.

Superdelegates need to end this primary race now. The longer it continues, Sen Clinton or one of her supporters may says something else that will cause more divisions in the Democratic Party.

It's very clear among my friends that if Obama is the Party Nominee , my friends and I will vote for John McCain. Period. Obama will ruin this country, more than Bush already did.

Phil in KC   May 15th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Waxman and McDermott both wield some influence, so this is big. Not as big as Edwards, but big. It could signal a continuing flood of delegates for Obama.

curtis   May 15th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Thats good news.The path to the nomination is becoming much clearer. Americans will unite under obama because he can be no worse than some of the others who have been elected to the White House. Men who cheat on their spouses while at the white house, those who lie to start a war. Those who lie about watergate, and the Contra affair are just a few examples. YES WE CAN.

Lisa   May 15th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Why can't Obama close the deal?

VW   May 15th, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Those endorsements convey only one thing, they prefer a weak candidate for democratic party in their own interests but not for our USA and it is DEFINITELY doomed to lose in Nov.

White Male -CA   May 15th, 2008 2:05 pm ET

Thank you John Edwards! Thank you Super D's for listening to the people.

Get off the Double Talk Express and let McCain alone go full steam ahead into a wall of empty gun shells after a 100year war.

So who cares?? it doesn't matter Hillary WILL win because if you bend the rules JUST right she is AHEAD!! She WILL be the Nominee and if not I will hold my breath and turn blue and vote for McCain!!

How did I do??

Bryan for Obama   May 15th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Go Obama!!!!!!!!! Maybe we can get Hill out by next Tuesday!!!!!!!

bitter   May 15th, 2008 2:00 pm ET

I am a clinton supporter and I will not in any way vote the democratic ticket in the general election if oboma is the candidate. Hillary has receiced and continues to receive a raw deal and there are a lot of people like me around (thousands who thinks this way. as of now I hate the democratic party…….

If Hillary is supposed to be Rocky. It's the Rocky that fought Clubber Lang in their first bout from Rocky 3. The one who got knocked out cause this isn't a close fight for the nomination, it's a whoopin'.

YAY! THis is great news! It really is time for the superdelegates to weigh in on the primary race. I'm glad to see they are beginning to do so!

richard   May 15th, 2008 1:57 pm ET

These guys were getting worried that they would be labeled racists if they did not get on board. Whew that was close.

More and more people making the right decision. Do not ever think you can trust Hillary.

Mike   May 15th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Numbers don't scare Hillary. Her ego can't be measured in such mundane numbers.

Michael, an indepedent   May 15th, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Yes , it is important for Obama to get more superdelegates, but what is most important for the Democrats is to heal the deep rift that currently exists between Clinton and Obama supporters.

Democrats: Do not underestimate the deep divide that exists between the Clintoncrats and the Obamacrats.

If the CNN blogs (and other blogs) truly reflect the hostility within the Democrat party, I'm afraid the Republicans may get back into the White House.

Dia Akin   May 15th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Its a wrap for Clinton. How much more evidence does she need?

Sadly for her and her supporters, they CONTINUE to cling to this notion that they're ahead in the popular vote, which they are not. They STILL feel like tthere's SOME loophole that will grant Clinton the nomination, which there is not. She's STILL blasting Obama about certain things and has the AUDACITY to think that she deserves to be on his team after all of that? I can't see it.

If he accepts her, he'll definitely lose my support. You can't tear someone to shreds and attempt to ruin their credibility and then extend a hand of friendship after you've realized you can't have what they earned, so now you want to play on their team.

Richard (from Puerto Rico)   May 15th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

Music to my ears, I am living history evolving and taking its place for centurys' and milleniums to come. Its, past time that the American people come together as one, the USA, is the sum, the sum of its people united as one. This will, make us stronger, united we win, diveded we all loose. Just think about it, (like Congressman Luis Gutierres would say) That is a fact, no myth.

Ed from VA   May 15th, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I sincerely hope that HRC & Co. can see this very vivid writing on the wall! Time to throw in the towel !! The fat lady has already finished singing!

beans, belize C.A   May 15th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

Well i guess Barack Obama has locked up the Democratic nomination. I wonder when Hilliary Clinton will concede.

Scott Hughes ATL   May 15th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

You know,

It's getting pretty difficult for Clinton supporters to keep bashing all the endorsements that Obama is getting. It seems to me that some of these endorsements gave Clinton every opportunity (including some opportunties that sane people thought were pretty rediculous) before they endorsed Obama.

You can't really argue with the judgement of any one of these 4 mentioned.

After a while, people that argue for Clinton, saying that she's the best candidate just begin to look and sound foolish…

I suppose I'd be pretty upset if my candidate was losing too, but make no mistake, she IS losing and losing badly. Most would say she's lost already.

Then you say you'lll burn the house down (vote for Mccain) rather than let someone else have it???

Most of you are parents right? Well you'd be burning the house down with your children inside. All because you refuse to face reality. This makes me wonder about Clinton herself, if these are the types of supporters she attracts…

Tex   May 15th, 2008 1:54 pm ET

The flood gates are opening as the superdelegates come over to Obama! Only 137 delegates to go.

Obama/Edwards 08 and 12

janey   May 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

All of these big wheel politicians and Obama still cannot put away the "pantsuit lady"? What will the DNC do next to try and sabotage the vote? Millions of people disenfranchised and the DNC thinks we will vote "democratic" in the fall? Drink some more of that kool-aid, Dean, Kennedy, Kerry, Pelosi. We will be voting for the best candidate and it isn't Obama.

Derrick in Houston, TX   May 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Clintons house is being tore down one superdelegate at a time. Do you see the "change in the tide" Sen Clinton??

mya, Obama   May 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

YAY!!!!

Cécile, Montreal   May 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Great news…

Democrats… have you notice that some of Clinton's supporters are as nasty as she is? And who says opposite attrack? I cannot believe that someone will vote for grandpa McBush just to make sure Obama does not win in the general election. That particular way of thinking just remind me so mush of Billary tactics. So glad it is just a minority… that is why their candidate will not win the nomination. A lot of us have integrity just as the best candiate out there.. Go OBAMA GO 08 /12

ConservaNerd   May 15th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Keep the wave going! Sen. Obama may reach the magic number before June 3rd. I love the tough pushback talk from Senators Biden and Obama on Pres. Bush's recent trash talk about appeasing terrorists. That's the new Progressive movement at work! Way-to-go fellas!

Why do Dems say Al Gore deserved to be President because of the popular vote, despite the electoral system being the rule of the land…but when Hilary is winning the popular vote, they advocate adherence to DNC rules…As usual DEMs typically equate Hipocracy or make arguments to serve their needs AT THAT GIVEN MOMENT without real analytical thinking!!!

Tiachi   May 15th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

we're seeing history in the making!!!

M Philllips   May 15th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

What is behind the CNN policy of not adding delegates( you admit in your own news stories) have joined the Obama campaign? What is the motive? I just read elsewhere in the election portion of your website that Obama has 191 super delegates yet here– in this part of CNN.politics.com– you list him with 188? I do not notice similar " fudging" with Clinton numbers. Please treat both candidates the same way , whatever your policy.

RNY   May 15th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

What is this? An attempt to discourage Clinton supporters to go to the polls and vote for her?

Derek from NC   May 15th, 2008 1:51 pm ET

WOW! Obama is really picking up steam!

Randy   May 15th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Even with the Edwards endorsement of Barak Hussien Obama cannot win the WHITE House. This is one Democrat that will cross over and vote Mccain. We cannot allow this inexperienced, very liberal left wing of the Democratic running the country. Edwards sure looked like he was hinting around to another run at a losing ticket.

Rich   May 15th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

Wow, wasn't he still behind Clinton in superdelegates until this week?

It's impressive that Clinton had such a large win in West Virginia the other night, but let's not forget that Obama has achieved 67% or more of the vote 9 times whereas this is only number 2 for Hillary (Obama – Georgia, Hawaii, Washington, Nebraska, Idaho, Kansas, Colorado, District of Columbia; Clinton – Arkansas, West Virginia). In fact, this is only the 2nd time she's gotten over 60% of the vote compared to 15 for Obama. So lets all keep this in perspective.

And what the heck was up with Edwards getting 7% of the vote!?

MR   May 15th, 2008 1:50 pm ET

THE BEST THURSDAY THE OBAMA TEAM HAS HAD THUS FAR!

IT IS HISTORIC TO WATCH THE CORRELATION BEGIN!

That will not end , they will continue to move to him, nice and slow, like the chinese torture, one drop at the time right on the forehead until you see the cows come home.

Truth Hurts   May 15th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Many-MANY Americans are racist. Racist against blacks, gays, & even whites which was made apparant when opver 90% of blacks voted for Obama & what about Wright's hate speeches.

Dr. J   May 15th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

I think the handwritting is on the wall. The better nominee is being chosen.

stop the madness   May 15th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

This is great. but just what is the real total for today? I think it is more like 10 at this point, remember 6 came along with Edwards from NC. 4+6=10 with more of them expected to come!!

Keep up Cnn we will need you to help us keep count cause they are flooding in. Thanks!

Venus   May 15th, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Joey   May 15th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Isn't it funny…

When the talk first began about superdelegates deciding the election there was an uproar that "men" (as in not women) in smoke filled rooms would be deciding the election… At that time the thought was that Hillary would win most those superdelegates and I remember watching the reason why I can't watch CNN anymore… Wolf Blitzer almost attacking a senator for potentially voting for a the candidate that didn't win his state. Example senator voting for HIllary even though the state voted for Obama would be vetoing the will of the people and Wolf thought that was a huge injustice…

1st – Why not go after Dean or the Dem party in general if you don't like the fact that the SD's have free will to vote how they want

2nd – Where did that uproar go now that SD's who's constituants voted for Hillary are supporting Obama… It's suddenly okay now because it's not for Hillary like you thought?

Can anyone explaine?

Deb, IN   May 15th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Hillary Clinton take this all the way to the convention……you have 17 million voters behind you!!!!

Super Delegates must want to lose in Novemeber is all that I have to say to them.

I will never vote for Obama!!!!

Uvic for Obama   May 15th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Slowly but surely we wrapping this thing up!!! Canada for Obama!!!!

VOTE DEMOCRAT 08!   May 15th, 2008 1:48 pm ET

Now, as he gets closer everyday, can we please just say that he's going to win and call it a day? I am not saying Clinton should drop out, that's her decision, but what I am saying is that what people need to do (well Clinton said it yesterday, and I usually never agree with her) is take a deep breath and relax. This isn't a Black vs. White, Men vs. Women issue… its about the candidate. Obama is not stealing this race, because she didn't win it. He won fair and square. I mean no one should pay attention to the MSM, go and read about the candidates on your own. They each have websites for and against them and that's how I made my decision. I went to their campaign websites and read their plans. So, no it wasn't about a bunch of fancy speeches and no he didn't steal her plans. It was about seeing someone who saw this country in a different way, someone who agrees with how I feel things in Washington DC will get better. Not that I don't admire a fighter, but I know that "Blessed are the Peacemakers".

REAL American for Obama   May 15th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Enough endorsements already. Let the rest of the people vote, then all of you can come out the next day and endorse Obama. We all know he is going to be the nominee, but let the people's voices be heard first. Only a few more weeks to go. This daily roll-out of superdelegate endorsements is starting to get annoying.

Anyone with a brain and who is not mentally disturbed will get behind the Democratic nominee. The Democrats are making a mockery of our election system.

White middle-aged woman for Obama !   May 15th, 2008 1:46 pm ET

Bush is just out making more trouble, someone needs to stop this man, but why bother, he has no credibility, and will go down in history as the worst leader we have had in our nation. Its just too bad he has done so much damage. I will be celebrating the day he leaves office and hopefully he will not go unpunished for his war crimes.

Dems (liberal dems) are really, really…..really…what is the word? Stupid? Nonsensical? Idiotic? Self-Destructive?
If these people, inluding Edwards, truly thought that Obama was the best nominee, WHY did they wait until he kept losing state after state? If they truly think he is best TODAY and YESTERDAY…..why not come out LAST MONTH? TWO MONTHS AGO? THREE MONTHS AGO?????????
Can someone explain?
BTW, all the BO supporters that are now trying to kiss and make up, too late. You've clearly shown your arrogance and hatred towards Hillary. If you back-track now, you are just pandering. Just don't bother. Go celebrate. Good luck in the fall :)

Don't let yourselves be played by the republicans. All of this "divisiveness" within the democratic party has been fueled by republicans posing as democrats.

Operation Chaos is still going full steam. Their goal is to divide our party because they know that is their only chance for November.

We must unite behind our nominee – whoever it is – and make sure a democrat ends up in the whitehouse.

The republicans are making fools of us and laughing behind our backs. Don't be played for a fool – Vote Democrat '08 – either way.

Marilyn, Kansas   May 15th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Excellent. I wonder what twist Hilary Clinton will put on this now. She has fought a dirty, smearing, and pandering campaign, and is stil down by all measurements. And yet she keeps taking people's money and acting like she has a way to win. Well if people are stupid enough to send her money, they deserve to lose it.

Texas Vet   May 15th, 2008 1:38 pm ET

I am sure Hillary knows she will not win the nomination. Unfortunately her supporters just can’t handle that reality. All I can say to them is:

When you can’t discuss issues, when you can’t justify the actions of your candidate, when your last gasp is the popular vote instead of delegate count; why take out your frustration and inadequacies by demeaning and insulting anyone that doesn’t adore your candidate.

Instead of telling us how you will vote for McCain, spend your time praying to the Patron Saint of Lost Causes.

We many, we happy many, we band of brothers and sisters. For those that vote with me in November for Obama shall ever be my Family. That vote shall change our condition. Voters that stayed away or voted otherwise shall think themselves accursed. And they shall stay silent while any speak that voted with us on that blessed day.

Clinton should run as an Independent because Obama wil lose the GE. I know there's HOPE for Obama to connect with those blue collar workers but truth is many Americans are stil racist. All we're going to talk about for the next 4yrs is how racism was the reason the Democrats lost the GE(genaral election)… Edwards cant do MUCH to help. Edwards is not running for pres, Obama is.

Eric   May 15th, 2008 1:36 pm ET

She could have ended her campaign gracefully after Indiana and NC. She decided to go on, made an outrageous race argument, got everyone angry and now she's getting kicked out without any pity. Untill the end, she will show the exact same lack of judgement that would have been one scary thing, if she had been elected president.

It is time for the Dems to unite and get on with defeating McBush.

I am confused by Hillary supporters who indicate they will vote for McCain if Obama gets the Dem. nomination! Are you folks not Democrats!!?? Would you really prefer to cut off your nose just to spite your face?

McCain is not an independent! He is a Bush Republican! He has sold out any "maverick inclinations" in him to pander to the right-wing conservative base of the Republicans. His reversal on the tax cuts, his speech on appointing conservative judges, his denial of not having voted for Bush, etc. all speak to this pandering.

Obama is a black man running for president. He has received Secret Service protection earlier than any other candidate in history. His life, his wife's life and the lives of their two daughters are being threatened every day. Would not only a patriot go through this!?

Don’t Obama and Hillary agree on most major issues!?

Thus, the questions become: Are you more racist than Democrat!?
Are you more racist than pro choice!? Are you more racist than anti-tax cuts for the rich!? Even Hillary would answer "no" to all these questions.

So how much longer is Clinton going to live in Bizzaro world?

FLORIDA Voter for Barack Obama   May 15th, 2008 1:34 pm ET

Yup, it's a wrap.

It's time for all Democrats to set-aside their petty differences and unite. Whether you like it or not, our current system is mandated by the numbers and the numbers are clear. We have to beat the Republican machine this fall, PERIOD!

Obama Helped Supporters Get Millions in Illinois State Business

John Rogers, Whose Business Obama Helped as a State Senator, Is Now One of Obama's Chief Fundraisers

By AVNI PATEL, JUSTIN ROOD
and BRIAN ROSS

May 15, 2008

In a speech to the Urban League last July, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., boasted of his efforts in 2001 to help a handful of African American-owned investment firms in Chicago get a larger share of business with Illinois state pension funds.

"And in six months, they got about a half-billion dollars' worth of business simply on their excellence," Obama said.

What he did not say in his speech was that the owner of one of the investment firms, John Rogers of Ariel Capital, is a principal campaign fundraiser.

Nor did he reveal that employees of the firms he helped have since contributed to or helped to raise more than $765,000 for his campaigns, according to campaign documents.

Nor did he mention that two of the firms have allowed him to use their private jets. Nor did he mention that two of the firms have since been dismissed by the state pension fund for "underperformance."

It's like the cat that caught it's tail under the rocking chair."It won't be long now!!!

More rats jumping ship. I hope the Clintons dont ever forget these hate filled actions by people that they helped. The Clintons were there when these people needed them, now these people are taking great pleasure in burning the Clintons. These people are disgusting human beings who wouldnt know how to be loyal. I cant wait to see their boy get ripped to shreds by the republicans. I am a democrat who has not voted for a republican for any office for 30 years. This time I will be voting straight ticket Republican. The Demcratic leadership turns my stomach.

Fat lady in the pantsuit, its time to start singing so we can concentrate on destroying McBush.
