yes it is a pick up

Obama's magic number is 52
As always all the information from Demconwatch the most authoritative source of delegate matters
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com /

Obama picked up 4 on Saturday.

So far it's Obama 3, Clinton 1 for superdelegates
and Obama +1, Clinton -1 for pledged delegates


Alaska's state convention moved just 3 points from 74% to 77% and that enabled Obama to sweep the state delegates and pick an extra delegate and for Clinton to lose one.



Of course one is wondering if the news events of the last couple of days may have motivated a few Clinton delegates to change to Obama.




and for tomorrow:



Sunday is a big day for Hawaii

again from DemconWatch

Sunday. May 25, Hawaii Democrats hold their State Convention, followed by a meeting of the State Central Committee, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort in Waikiki, and name their add-on, and also select a new state party chair and vice-chair, both of whom immediately become superdelegates. Obama won the Hawaii Caucuses. Candidates for the Chair position are Annelle Amaral and Brian Schatz. Schatz is a former member of Obama's campaign in Hawaii, and has been endorsed by Obama. Amaral is a Clinton supporter but has committed to voting for Obama at the convention. In addition, Obama has endorsed James Burns, former chief judge of the state Intermediate Court of Appeals, for the add-on position.

So the total for the weekend add ons will be Obama 6 Clinton 1 - Obama also picked up one pledge delegate and Clinton lost one so the net is Obama 7 and Clinton 0.

Other super delegates may announce as well.



so tomorrow the number will be

49
