They are both switching from Clinton to Obama, per the AP story - so that's a great two-fer.
DemConWatch still as VI superD Kevin Rodriquez (who is mentioned in the AP story) in the Clinton column. The only other VI superD for Hillary is Donna Christensen. I wonder if she's the second VI. Anybody know?
The Utah superD add-on was announced last night, I think. The Ohio one is also new I think.

NY Times had her with Clinton, DemConWatch said undecided. They were exactly opposite with Rodriquez.

I just read her name on Obama's website, but I couldn't find her on any of the DemConWatch lists. I guess my eyes are going!

According to Obama's website, the second Virgin Island superD for Obama today is Carole Burke. I couldn't find her name on any of the DemConWatch lists for Clinton, Obama or undecided, so perhaps she's an add-on??

Only states (and Puerto Rico and DC which are treated by the Democrats as if they were states) get add-ons.

The DNC folks need to come on board. They're the ones who made the rules, and it really helps for them to support Obama, who's been playing by the rules.
Also, the Virgin Islands voted nearly unanimously for Obama over Clinton.

Clinton supporter but the other one was only thought to be a supporter but not confirmed so that would mean she only lossed one.
They are Kevin Rodriguez, who had publicly endorsed Clinton, and Carol Burke, who had been privately considered for Clinton before today.

Even one two-fer is a good thing. I'll take it!

I think the Virgin Islanders (as all the other delegates coming from territories) count as .5 delegates. So 2 from the VI are really just one in the delegate count.

Only the delegates for Democrats Abroad count as .5.

but that is definitely not true of the Guam supers. They get one full vote (in contrast to the Guam pledged dels). So it's not a rule for all territories.

so I probably had it mixed up with super and pledged delegates in the territories.
