HA! Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is a SuperD? My god, she couldn't even win her own election a couple years ago which lead MD to a Rep gov, who thankfully was beaten the next time around by O'Malley. She's been stumping for Clinton for months, so how is it she's just added now? Thankfully her mother supports Obama, and isn't a gender hack like her daughter!

The Indy posters have reassured us that the voters in their state would not fall for Hillary's insincere pandering.

Lastly, we have to take into consideration the mischief of the Limbaugh toadies when we assess Texas, Ohio, and Pa.

Obama's campaign, (including us his supporters), like the NY Giants, may just be a team of destiny.

Again I ask: Why can't Hillary close the deal? I wonder why that's not the question. She was supposed to be the runaway winner going into the primaries. Never even got started. She needs to get out now before she destroys her party and forever disillusions all of the first time and young voters that have been flocking to the polls.

I hope delegates continue to see through Senator Clinton's strategy of negativity. Could she do this on her own without former President Clinton to rely on for her answers? Senator Obama understands the issues AND what it will take to restore integrity to our Democratic process. I hope there are enough of them who really do want to a healthier way of solving our toughest problems.

I'm a Brit neutral, does strike me however that a vote for Clinton is for retirees and blue collar workers whose jobs have gone (and won't come back), and a vote for Obama is for younger voters, with better education who can add value to the economy. Yesterday v's the future in a way?? Or have I got this wrong??

Chuck and friends -- Looks like it is now 3-1 for Obama. The AP reports Maryland's second add-on is fmr Gov Glendening, who they identify as an Obama supporter.

LANHAM, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Democratic Party has chosen two new delegates, former Gov. Parris Glendening and former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, who will get a vote in the party's presidential nomination. Democratic party spokesman David Paulson said Glendening and Townsend were chosen Saturday as "add-on" delegates.... Townsend is a Clinton supporter, and Glendening is supporting Obama.

I am elated to finally see the Super Delegates trickling in for Obama. If this continues it is very good news for him. The only thing that will screw this entire thing up is if the Media continues to plaster all of us with negative issues about him. This entire debaucle would have ended a long time ago if the Media would have just shut up! Please let Rev. Wright go before you ruin Barack's entire campaign. Maybe Michelle Obama has a point when she says America can be mean.

Thank you very much for the two superdelegates that have endorsed and supported Sen. Obama. He is the only who has a broad vision for this country without personal gains. I am 67 I have never participated in politics this much before, but I have been motivated and inspired by his determination to help this country as he has demostrated in Chicago.

He showed his judgement when he did not vote for the war of Clinton voted. At the moment he is showing his judgement again for not supporting a short break for gas, he wants to have a long term solution for the gas. I am a strong supporter of Obama. Please superdelegates help close this prolonged campaign.

At the moment Obama would like to have a long term solution for the gas problem, not short term that has hidden costs in the future. May God Bless you sir. I am 67 I have never been so energised and envoked politically as I have been driven to by Sen. Obama. This country can go back to what it was before. Thanks once again.

Robert Hussien Harris, Buckeye, AZ — Sat, 03 May 2008 18:27:35 GMT

408 remaining elected delegates from the remaining 7 states and Guam and Puerto Rico.

Obama needs only 282 delegates to reach 2,025 and secure the nomination.

Whereas, Clinton needs 415 to secure the nomination.

Many projections give Obama 211 of those remaining elected delegates, and Clinton 194.

Guam - 3(Obama)* : 1(Clinton)
N.C. - 63(Obama)* : 52(Clinton)
Indiana - 36(Obama) : 36(Clinton)
W.V. - 13(Obama) : 15(Clinton)*
Kentucky - 21(Obama) : 30(Clinton)*
Oregon - 28(Obama)* : 24(Clinton)
Puerto Rico - 29(Obama)* : 23(Clinton)
Montana - 9(Obama)* : 7(Clinton)
S.D. - 9(Obama)* : 6(Clinton)

This means Obama will only need 71 more superdelegates to reach 2,025 and secure the nomination.

Clinton will need 220 supers.

If Obama can pull 17 superdelegates a week between now and the last primary, in exactly 31 days from today, he will secure the nomination at that time.

GObama!!!

And Obama will continue to pick up the SD's. Clinton should think of the good of the party and throw her weight behind the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. Even with the slander and prejudice that has mounted this month through the help of the corporate media (ie - Murdoch, et al.), intelligent people realize the race is over. She may win the "Redneck" states in a few weeks, but they'll never go Dem in the GE anyway.

I have always said Obama has a bag of super delegates and waits for the right time to take them out. Whenever Hillary announces one he comes with two or three. If he can sweep Guam, Indiana and NC the floodgates will open. Hillary has indicated to NC that if Obama wins the nomination she will campaign for him. I hope she keeps her words, well you never know with the Clintons.
