Superdelegate deluge
(CNN) - The superdelegate deluge continued Wednesday afternoon with the announcement of two new endorsements.
Luisette Cabanas, an unpledged superdelegate from Puerto Rico, is backing Hillary Clinton. California Rep. Lois Capps is supporting Barack Obama. (Capps is the mother-in-law of Obama Press Secretary Bill Burton.)
So far, the Clinton campaign has released the names of four new superdelegate supporters in the last 24 hours, and the Obama campaign has named five.

Obama with his strength, judgement and integrity will always be a step ahead of Clinton
Thank You Supers for knowing Obama is the best choice for our country and diplomacy.
YES WE CAN 08
I thought California went for Clinton ? It sounds like superdelegates aren't paying attention to how their states voted .Thats interesting .
Its over if it continues at this pace for Sen. Clinton. SHE NEEDS to a large percentage of the super delegates in order to win and over the last week it seems her and Sen. Obama are splitting them 50/50. Its over and given her deficit and his literally insurmountable lead at this point it is time to drop out.
Well, Hillary is not exactly making up too much ground, one thought is that she should drop out once Obama takes the lead in SD's....for which he was behind over 100 a few months ago, now down to 20 and counting.
Go Obama.......more are coming !!!! Some big ones !!!!!!!!!!! The Express is warming up and will leave the station Wed 5/7...next stop??? the nomination in Denver............
This is not Democrat vs. Democrat. It's a good, solid Democrat pitted against Clinton, Inc. Congressman Clyburn was absolutely pointing in th right direction. Hillary is accomplishing nothing except to ensure that Obama cannot win in November, and thus pave the way for another go-around in 2012. What arrogance! She would sacrifice the next four years to McCain/Republicans so that she and Bill can reclaim the "birthright" four years hence.
YES!! I can not wait until Clinton is out of it so we can focus on the issues and Obama can get shut down by the republican party. It will be a happy day when Obama is gone!!
Hillary is only getting 40 + percent of superdelegates and oBama is getting about 50+ since PA.....Hillary needs 80% and Obama needs 30+ so tell me people Rev Wright who......it doesn't look good Clintons.......Obama keep banking em
Like I said...keep those Superdelegates coming. They are starting to realize the longer Hillary drags this out, the more she is going to hurt the party. Sweet Dreams Hillary!
Barack 08!!
CNN, try to keep balance and discuss the following issues!!!
HRC's (current) pastor—-Molestation of 7 year old
Peter Paul vs. Clintons—- 17 Million Dollar Law Suit
These cases are currently being heard in the court system. Why can't we have open discussion on CNN in this regard?
let's wrap this thing up supers!
Go Obama – all the way to the WHITE HOUSE!
Fox, I still do not know who is that guy Obama and why he deserves sooo much attention?
What he has done sooo outstanding for the country? Controversies one after other!
Is that the best that we can have out of 300 000 000?
And one more question: Why Hillary Clinton is not good enough for us? Oh, yaaa, she is not that cool and entertaining!!!
We do not need serious and heard working President and beside she is a woman! That is not cool at all!!
I love you Hillary!
Most of Obama supporters are AA. They usually don't goto the polls during ge. Obama is going will one state just like you know who.
Why are superdelegates supporting a candidate who just rolled over on the guy he said was like a family member, and presided over his marriage and prayed with him before his run for the Presidency? Now Obama is calling Wright a spectacle. What a spineless, gutless, political maneuvering wimp. He caved to the media and pundits pressure. I would have had a lot more respect for him if he had stuck to his guns. Can't he think for himself ? The bigger problem is that superdelegates and supporters like Russert rush in to keep bailing him out. Do they care about Democrats winning in November? If so, then what are they doing?????? This guy will sink us.
Where are all the people that spent the last month on here standing up for Rev. Wright ?? Now that Obama has disowned him, over offending him politically, does that mean you all recant your previous ugly comments on the issue?? Apology accepted!
Calling all superdelegates...please endorse Obama. He is the only candidate willing to put himself on the line. He is the only candidate with sincere integrity. He is the only candidate who will tell the American people the truth...period, point blank. Denouncing Rev. Wright was the best decision. That man acted a fool at the press conference and this had to be done. Do you so-called blue-collar workers honestly believe Hillary Clinton will actually bite the hand that feeds her and her husband's bank account–WAKE UP!! and listen to the truth and that is OBAMA. I wonder why the story has not broke about Hillary's pastor molesting a 7 year-old. Talk about fairness. One can not be responsible for the stupidity of his or her pastor...
OBAMA '08/'12
Obviously the superdelegates have made up their mind who they want to vote for, it's Obama. They come slowly for him so as not to rip the party apart and completely anger the already rabbid hillary suporters
Drip...drip...drip. This is almost as much fun as waiting for a leaking faucet to fill up the tub.
So the way this thing is going... at the end of the race,
She'll have more Votes
He'll have more States
They will both have the same number of Pledged Delegates...
Then What?
Barack Obama will be the United State of America new President. Hilliary tells too many LIES! She will say or do anything to win. People go visit the Clinton Legacy website and you will see the truth about the Clinton that the media won't report
Remember all of you who want to get this over with...the people have the final say come November. Obama's a wolf in sheep's clothing. More will come out and more of you will wish you didn't vote for this guy in the primaries.
Dems are playing the foolish card.
OK now... CNN might have me sitting on the edge of my desk chair all day watching the ticker for new announcements and lickin' my chops.
Duh!!! ALL IN THE FAMILY!
Rep. Lois Capps is supporting Barack Obama. (Capps is the mother-in-law of Obama Press Secretary Bill Burton.) I guess Lois was always a Clinton supporter who now endorses Obama. Same Old Polictics!
Hillary or McCain 08
There is no more information the supers need to make decision. Make your decision, I don't care who you go for. What else do you they need? Dakota's results?
she is speeding up the closure of the Clinton dynasty. If the super delegates continue to come out at this pace she will be out before end of May. Do the math Barack Obama 1491 Pledg Hillary Clinton 1332 Pledge OBAM HAS 159 MORE WILL BE MORE AFTER NC SO it is over for HER
