Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schon Marques (who counts as 1/2 a super) and Indiana Rep. Pete Visclosky.

1. Gobama!

He is closing in .... less than 180 (rough guess) to go.

Calling all Supers Calling all Supers time to put an end to this
race.

2. Democrats Abroad

Does that mean Obama gets a ".5", too?

3. I think that there is a chance that he could end up with 8-10 supers today.

7. That would be good planning, completely erase Hillary's pick up last night.

8. Heh, don't know. Still, I think this is just the beginning for today.

I would love to see the Obama campaign trot out 10 supers, so that the conversation is that WV is a wash.

Plus, I'd love to see the Obama campaign announce the April fundraising numbers. My guess is they are pretty good, and obviously better than "I had to loan my campaign 11 million"

12. Sure looks that way

4. Keep 'em comin'!

Obama net 21 on the week?

6. WHOO GO DEMS ABROAD

I'm an overseas voter and glad to see our DA Chair is backing Obama.

9. Exellent. Obama now needs only 140 or delegates to get to 2024

Hill needs over 300. There are only 189 pledged delegates left to win. Conservatively, Obama will win at least 80 of them. There are approximately 240 SDs left. Obama will only need 25% of them to put him over the top.

[DemsUnited]

13. True. Plus, about 50 of the SD's left are add-ons. If you look at

the excellent calender at Dem Con Watch and see that Obama won many of the states yet to assign add-ons, I think it's pretty safe to say that he'll get a conservative half of the remaining add-ons.

10. Good. Time to put this baby to bed, and zero in on McSame.

11. Add that to the two college dems he picked up last night and you have two more.
