I Noticed a big Change in delegates with many going towards Obama without a Primary

Edited on Wed Jan-16-08 01:42 PM by hnmnf

For the past couple days, I noticed on RCP that Clinton had a 105 delegate lead over Obama, with most of those being Superdelegates. Well, today I look and see that her lead is down to only 63, a gain of 42 by Obama. Does anybody know where Obama made these gains?

PS: I realize that these were superdelegates, anybody have info on how many moved his way?

2. Superdelegates can move about the cabin at will.

And I'm liking the trend.

4. It doesn't look like Hillary has lost any but rather Obama has picked up some endorsements
