  •  Hillary has lost 2 superdelegates since yesterday (0+ / 0-)

    So says politico's superdelegate count.  Anybody know anything about this?

    Or does anyone know the website that keeps track of superdelegates in more depth?

      Affectionately known as DemConWatch is the place to go for all your delegate and superdelegate needs.  That said, I have no idea why HRC lost delegates unless it was in the Washington State or DC caucus meetings.

      •  Thanks - found it on my own. (0+ / 0-)

        It doesn't mention anything about why Clinton has 248 instead of the 250 that she's been holding since I don't know when.

          Click on "DCW Superdelegate Tracker" which will take you here: http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/...

          There you'll see a log, it's in small font half way down the page.  Here's part of it:

          4-2-08 - Added Wyoming Governor Dave Freudenthal for Obama - Removed Sen. Russ Feingold (WI) from Obama. He told a paper last week: "I am very torn between the two candidates." - Added Sen. Russ Feingold (WI) back for Obama. "I give the greatest deference to what (my) state did," said Feingold, who voted for Obama in that contest. - Added DNC John Melcher (MT) for Obama
          4-5-08 - Removed DNC Helen Langan (UT) from Clinton and put her on the uncommitted list.
          Added Missouri add-on Susan Montee (MO)# , Delaware add-on Rob Carver (DE)# , Yvette Alexander(DC)# for Obama.
          Added Harry Thomas Jr.(DC)# for Clinton.
          4-6-08 Replaced Mary Lou Winters (Clinton) with Elsie Burkhalter as DNC member from LA. Burkhalter is being placed on the uncommitted list as of now. - Added North Dakota add-on Dan Hannaher (ND)# for Obama. - Added DNC Margarett Campbell (MT) for Obama.

        •  Politico has a list (1+ / 0-)

          of recent adds/drops in Superdelegate endorsements.

          After spending way too much time reviewing Politico vs. Demconwatch, I'm continuing to use DCW as the "official" source on my nifty spreadsheet, and note that many other folks who have some actual credibility online (like the greenpapers0 use DCW as their source as well.

          There should continue to be a trickle of a few add-ons over the next few days for Obama, as well as a continuing drip of other supers his way.  And every one makes Hillary's task that much more difficult.  In all honesty, barring an implosion from Barack, there is no way Hillary will mystically get 70%+ of the remaining undeclared supers to go her way (several diaries have pointed out the problems she's had getting any new Supers over the last month or so).

    •  I know one SD in Utah moved from Clinton (2+ / 0-)

      to uncommitted, and I think an SD in California that was part of the DNC was replaced by someone who was uncommitted.

      That would account for the two.

    •  It might just be caution (2+ / 0-)

      If you go to http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/ for instance, people on that site are constantly mulling over press releases and news articles to verify that a superdelegate really has endorsed a particular candidate.  The change in the count on Politico may be the result of similar count checking.
