Sorry, I was getting sick and tired of each new super announcement getting a diary. Therefore, here is an open thread on the supers for the day. I'll update this as more supers come out for both Obama and Clinton today.
Today ends at O+4, C+0, with Anita Bonds apparently coming out at the fifth Obama super but with no 100% confirmation, we'll wait for another day's Super Delegate Open Thread to add her name.
Thanks everyone once again - tomorrow WV votes and then it's on to Or and Ky (go cats!)
-- So far, we have for Obama:
Tom Allen, Maine, US Congressman
http://my.barackobama.com/...
Dolly Strazar, Hawaii, DNC member
http://my.barackobama.com/...
Daniel Akaka, Hawaii, US Senator

Update [2008-5-12 14:14:59 by kkaabboomm]:
Keith Roark, Idaho, DNC member/Idaho Dem Party Chair
http://www.newwest.net/...
Update at like midnight-ish
Anita Bonds, DC, DNC member
http://washingtoncitypaper.com/...
(pending more official confirmation, diarist howardpark has a diary up about hearing it being made official tonight. I'm adding the name here, but in name only. I'm guessing it will be officially added to demconwatch/msnbc/ap/etc when the Obama camp officially comes up with a press release/quotes/etc.
-- So far, we have for Clinton:
none so far today.
UPDATEx2
HillaryClinton.com announced today that Ciro Rodriguez is supporting her.
He is from Texas, and is a US Congressman.
http://www.hillaryclinton.com/...
DemConWatch, FirstRead/MSNBC, the AP, CNN, and CBS all counted his endorsement on Friday, May 9th.
http://www.chron.com/...
So this is NOT a +1 for her.
------------
Discuss!
(and sorry if this is short on substance, it really is just an open thread to talk about supers for the day...)
oh and add tag suggestions/tags!
[Update before Roark from Idaho endorses: I made the rec list! Many thanks, I do appreciate it. I hope someone makes a thread like this a day, as it really is easier than a thread/diary for each and every endorsement - that gets out of hand and confuses many people as to the overall number of the day/etc.]
[Update again: a commenter made a mistake, switching IA with ID. He has since corrected his error, and a quote has also been posted (albeit from May 4th) indicating no IA endorsements in the near future from the remaining 2 supers. So don't assume it's +5 just yet...Oh and thanks everyone! Top of the rec list!]
