I expect to see more hedging of bets by fair-weather friends. Few if any will actually abandon Clinton until it doesn't matter, but none of them are, well, politically bold enough to stand against the winner.

DC has selected its two add-ons, the guy previously given was NOT one. Two City Council members got it. One supports Obama, the other is a former Hillary supporter now on the fence. From a ward that voted 83% Obama for the record. I think he'll come around.

Missouri and Delaware have chosen their delegates.

Missouri went with future Governor Jay Nixon and state auditor Susan Montee. Montee has endorsed Obama, Nixon has not endorsed anyone as of yet. Delaware chose Obama supporter Rob Carver. +2 for Obama today.

Who selects the ad-ons in primary states like Missouri and Delaware?

Who selects the ad-ons in primary states like Missouri and Delaware?

In Missouri it was the Democratic State Committee. In Delaware it was by what sounds like a committee made up of the already elected pledged delegates (yeah that's kind of a weird way but that's what the description sounds like.)

Fargo businessman and high level Obama supporter Dan Hannaher was chosen at the North Dakota convention as ND's add-on superdelegate. He was also endorsed by Montana DNC member Margaret Campbell.

What's her lead down to now? 25 or so?

24

Add-on Arkansas superdelegate Mark Wilcox has endorsed Hillary Clinton.  That means that she has the support of all but one of the twelve superdelegates from Arkansas.

Also, Margaret Campbell, the Montana superdelegate mentioned in the previous post, has had to retract her official endorsement of Barack Obama due to party rules.  Of course, that doesn't really move her back into the 'uncommitted' column in real terms.

The Charleston Gazette endorsed Obama:

Any word on the final delegate count coming out of the D-NPL convention?  (i.e. were there any unexpected changes in pledged delegates)

8 Obama, 5 Hillary.

That's...odd. I was at City Hall at 2:15 today and didn't see anything.

A little bit of good news for Hillary: This looks to be the first week since Super Tuesday where she came out ahead in Super Delegates. On April 6 she had a lead of 24 in superdelegates. Now the lead is 27, so she'll be up 3 if nothing changes tomorrow.

The bad news for her:

1-Most of her gains were not new endorsements, but old ones that have no finally come to light.
2-Her percentage of declared superdelegates will still go down.
3-It's not enough for her. If all remaining superdelegates go 50/50, Obama still wins, and by a rather wide margin at that. She needs quite a bit over 60% of remaining superdelegates to win it, and she's still not getting that.

One of Minnesota's last two uncommitted superdelegates has endorsed Obama:

There's actually three remaining, the other two being the add-ons chosen at the convention. But they are almost guaranteed to be Obama supporters.

Rep. Andre Carson has formally endorsed Obama.
