Obama Will Have More Superdelegates

You know how you sit in church (temple, mosque, etc.) and you listen to the preacher talk about how the battle has already been won and you just have to have faith that he’ll get you through?  Well it’s been hard to have that type of faith this election season with the Obama campaign.  They’ve had surprises and more than a few of their own gaffes. But the following news helps those who still worry about Obama’s eventual nomination.

Capitol Hill insiders say the battle for congressional superdelegates is over, and one Senate supporter of Barack Obama is hinting strongly that he has prevailed over Hillary Rodham Clinton. . . “The majority of superdelegates I’ve talked to are committed, but it is a matter of timing,” said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.). “They’re just preferring to make their decision public after the primaries are over. … They would like someone else to act for them before they talk about it in the cold light of day.”

Obama currently holds an 18-13 lead among committed superdelegates in the Senate, while Clinton holds a 77-74 lead in the House. Asked which way the committed-but-unannounced superdelegates are leaning, McCaskill — who has endorsed Obama — said: “James Brown would say, ‘I Feel Good.’”
