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.

YAY!!!!
Clintons house is being tore down one superdelegate at a time. Do you see the "change in the tide" Sen Clinton??
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.
The flood gates are opening as the superdelegates come over to Obama! Only 137 delegates to go.
Obama/Edwards 08 and 12
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...
Well i guess Barack Obama has locked up the Democratic nomination. I wonder when Hilliary Clinton will concede.
Fantastic! We are almost out of room on the train.
I'd hate to be Bill Clinton right now, with that screechy voice around me...
...ugh.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Numbers don't scare Hillary. Her ego can't be measured in such mundane numbers.
More and more people making the right decision. Do not ever think you can trust Hillary.
The party is over as Obama sings...Obama 08 and 12
