According to the Politico's Ben Smith, two Alaskan superdelegates have declared for Obama.
The way I read this, it's three from this morning and these two for an addition of 5.
Sorry about the short diary abut the open superdelegate diary seems to have slipped into the silicon sunset.
Here's the moneyquote from Smith's blog:
The Obama campaign announces that Alaska superdelegates Cindy Spanyers and Blake Johnson are with Obama.
The other three to endorse earlier today are:
Washington State Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz
West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd
and
Kansas Democratic Party Chair Larry Gates.
The new number of delegates to clinch is 110 according to DemConWatch.
This has been a fascinating process. It's interesting to watch the states' party chairs come in clumps.
And a landmark of sorts, for you superdelegate junkies: As the esteemed Oreo notes below, after coming out of his mourning period for double-stuffed oreos wasted in a tragic accident in Illinois:
That Obama takes the lead in DNC endorsements.
Clinton's lead was primarily made up of DNC members.
Clinton now only leads in the DPL (Distinguished Party Leader) category. All others are now insignificant.
UPDATE: MSNBC - Obama on Brink of Delegate Milestone
Nope...not another super...yet. Still, nice to see the MSM publicising what we are beginning to celebrate.
Barack Obama will reach a significant milestone Tuesday as he marches toward the Democratic nomination for president — a majority of the pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses.
Obama will still be short of the overall number of delegates needed to clinch the nomination, unless he were to suddenly receive an avalanche of endorsements from the party and elected officials known as superdelegates. But the Illinois senator's campaign is touting the delegate milestone as a big step in defeating his rival, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
