Obama Takes Lead in Superdelegates
The Associated Press is reporting that Sen. Barack Obama has officially gone ahead of Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for Democratic superdelegates:
Obama added superdelegates from Utah, Ohio and Arizona, as well as two from the Virgin Islands who had previously backed Clinton. The additions enabled Obama to surpass Clinton's total for the first time in the campaign. He had picked up nine endorsements Friday. The milestone is important because Clinton would need to win over the superdelegates by a wide margin to claim the nomination. They are a group that Clinton owned before the first caucus, when she was able to cash in on the popularity of the Clinton brand among the party faithful.
Those party insiders, however, have been steadily streaming to Obama since he started posting wins in early voting states.

It's gonna be hard for Hillary to stay in the race now. And did anyone notice how she was playing with the race card in regards to the West Virginia, saying that Obama has a harder with lower-class whites against John McCain than she would? I thought Hillary would be smarter than that, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Plus, we saw Bill do it during the South Carolina primary, so it shouldn't surprise me.
