We have crossed another landmark moment in the superdelegate race. With the endorsement of Rep. Peter DeFazio (OR) and the flip of Rep. Donald Payne (NJ), even under Clinton counting of the Florida/Michigan delegations, Barack Obama leads in every individual category of elected superdelegate: Governor, Senator, Representative.
True, the race is in the post-checkmate phase, but it sure is fun officially touching the bases and I have had this diary in the queue for some time, so here it is.
Barack Obama leads in Governors 14-11 [14-12].
Barack Obama leads in Senators 18-13 [18-15]. Maria Cantwell will flip after May 20, so it's really 19-12 [19-14].
Barack Obama leads in Representatives 83-78 [86-85].

On Friday, we may see Obama finally take the lead among all supers. His site lists the super race at 275.5 to 264, which will be updated to 274.5 to 266 when the Payne and DeFazio endorsements are reflected. DCW has already updated, and they have it 268.5 to 262. So they agree the margin is 6.5. So the margin is 6.5 or 8.5. NBC, which confirms all supers with both camps before listing them, also has it 8.5 after factoring for these two supers. I effed up the poll, it should say 9. Either way, by the time of the official kick-off of the national voter registration drive he'll lead in supers overall.
