Clinton has picked up the support of Arkansas superdelegate Mark Wilcox.
"Land Commissioner Mark Wilcox, who was selected last month as the Arkansas Democratic Party's last remaining superdelegate to the national convention, said Monday he's supporting the New York senator," the AP reports. "Wilcox says the only way he'd change his mind is if Clinton drops out of the race before the convention this summer.
"Wilcox's support gives Clinton 11 of the state's 12 superdelegates, members of Congress and other party leaders who are not selected in primaries and caucuses."
Clinton holds a 256-225 superdelegate lead over Obama. In the overall count, Obama leads by 133 (1,641 to 1,508). He has a 164 pledged-delegate lead (1,416 to 1,252).
