[Update: Obama's meeting with McNerney today!]
I just got of the phone with a super happy gal at Jerry McNerney's office who confirmed that he's meeting with Clinton right now. I called to let her know that I'd hit the streets for McNerney and would be proud if he would let Clinton know that his supporters feel that Obama is their candidate and that Clinton is no longer in a position to win the nomination without hurting the party's chances of winning in November.
The nice woman (again, she was really sweet) told me that they are glad to hear from folks and that they will be keeping track of who calls and what they have to say about this meeting.
Let McNerney -- who owes much to DailyKos -- know that it's time to get behind Obama!
Here's the phone number:
925-833-0643
And here's other contact info
See the politico story herefor the others who are meeting.
My Capitol Hill colleagues and I obtained the names of four members of Congress who met with Hillary during her session with undecided superdelegates at the DCCC today: Ciro Rodriguez of Texas, Jerry McNerny of California, Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, and Tim Mahoney of Florida.
ALSO: John Spratt of South Carolina, Amie Parnes reports.
McNerney is one of the few supers from the Bay Area who has not gotten behind Obama (along with Pelosi and Stark I believe). Now's a great time to let him know how much support Obama has!
EDIT: Holy Cow - My first rec' list diary! THANKS and KEEP CALLING!

Edit 2: Just to respond to a couple of the helpful comments, what I meant by "owes" is that
Daily Kos turned out plenty of support including getting me to drag my feet to Pleasanton (got to meet Kid Oakland!) and opening up my wallet.
I understand that many others opened their hearts and wallets too. That's all, not "he owes Kos so much that he has to endorse someone" ... no, not at all. Just that he should remember the role that this site and others played in getting him support early on and during his campaign.
Update: From hekebolos in the comments:
I just received a call from Andy Stone, Jerry McNerney's Communications Director.
Andy Stone tells me that McNerney is meeting with the Obama Campaign tomorrow. The purpose is not to endorse either candidate. Today's "meeting" with Clinton only happened because Congressman McNerney was on his way to another meeting and was pulled aside by Senator Clinton for a conversation that lasted no more than a few minutes.
The intent is to check in with both campaigns and not to endorse anyone.
