Obama picks up four more superdelegates
(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.

It's not because they believe he is better than Clinton, it's because they are vying for a space in his cabinet.
Self serving politicians!
2026 IS ON THE WAY GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Stolen from Will….mangled by me
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.
DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY DELEGATES HE GETS FROM NOW UNTIL JUNE 3. I WANT VOTE FOR OBAMA IN THE GENERAL ELECTION.
Hillary who? Finally she's nowhere on the ticker, just like her campaign.
Wait a minute. On your politics page. It says he has 288. 288 plus 4 is 292. CNN.... is it 291 or 292.
42 supers to go.
Keep 'em coming.....the express to 2025 is on now big time!
WooHoo!!! Keep 'em comin', Baby!!!
Let's get this thing over with so Congress & American Citizens can get to work impeaching President Pyschopath!
Obama + Change – '08
There are so many now I can't keep up. I guess this means he's even more UNelectable huh? : ) Yes we are!
Isn't that just Hunky Dorey...
CLINTON OR MCCAIN 08
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.
Thank You all for actually seeing which candidate is the best one to get this country back to where it needs to be!
Obama '08
Superdelegates please keep them coming to Obama this is HOPE Yes We Can
Obama 08/12
Strike up the band and start singing
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
Kum ba yah, my Lord, kum ba yah!
Oh Lord, kum ba yah!
Someone's singing, Lord...
Someone's crying, Lord...
Someone's sleeping, Lord...
Someone's laughing, Lord...
Someone's praying, Lord...
Someone's camping, Lord...
Someone's losing, Lord
Kum ba yah, my Lord...
Yes!
General election...BRING IT ON! TURN THE PAGE!
Obama/Edwards or Richardson 2008 and 2012
It's really funny.
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 🙂
Right on!!!
bravo! GO–Bama!
Wow more excellent news for the Obama Camp "YES WE CAN"
"Obama 08 enough said"
Obama now has 292 superdelegates. The number of superdelegates on CNN list was already at 288 + 4 = 492 superdelegates
