Obama Now in Lead of Superdelegates

Clinton was once in the lead with pledged super delegates, but Obama has changed that as of yesterday. Obama gained delegates from Utah, Ohio, and two from the Virgin Islands that had originally supported Clinton. Clinton has gained one more in Massachusetts. This is the very first time that Obama has had a superdelegate lead in his entire campaign. Former chairman of the DNC, Don Fowler, said "I always felt that if anybody establishes himself as the clear leader, the superdelegates would fall in line". This means that Clinton must now win the remaining undeclared delegates by a very large margin in order to win the nomination. Obama now has 275 and Clinton has 271.5. Kevin Rodriquez, who was one of the delegates from the Virgin Islands and switched from Clinton to Obama, said, "He has shown he can connect with Democrats, Republicans and independents across this country, whether we live on the mainland or an island".
