Super Delegates Weekly Tracking Since 1/13. HC lead shrinks from 96 to 22

[TheDoorbellRang]

Anyone been wondering how it all began with the super delegates back in January? Here's the weekly tracking record from DemConWatch. I added today's totals at the bottom, just FYI. In a little over 3 months, Hillary has added 91 to her total and Obama has added 165. There are only 304 undeclared super delegates left.

..........HC....BO......HC Lead..HC%
1/13...165....69..........96......71%
1/20...171....77..........94......69%
1/27...184....88..........96......68%
2/3....198...105..........93......65%
2/10...224...127..........97......64%
2/17...238...160.5.......77.5....60%

4. In Hillary's defense, I've heard a lot of spin

that's she's only gotten 5 SD's since Super Tuesday. DCW, who has the best tracking system out there IMO, obviously shows that that is not true.

OTOH, Obama is really kicking butt in the SD game.

2. and Evan Bayh is begging Indiana SDs to not endorse Obama

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/24/evan-bayh-hill...

With his state's critical primary in two short weeks, Democratic Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh -- a strong supporter of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton -- has been leaning on the Hoosier State's freshman House members to stay on the sidelines rather than endorse Sen. Barack Obama.

Obama is hoping to win the outspoken support of Reps. Brad Ellsworth, Baron Hill and Joe Donnolly. He campaigned for them ahead of their 2006 Democratic sweep, and their districts sprawl across the southern half and central heartland of Indiana -- white, working class areas that favor Clinton. Even a good showing in those districts could be enough for Obama to take the state, given his strength in Indianapolis and the largely African American north near Chicago.

6. Rumor has it 20 more SD's will declare for Obama before May 6

No wonder Hillary is trying to nail some down...somewhere...somehow.

7. Looks like every other Obama 08 dataset I've seen

The trend is positive in every metric. The man knows how to campaign.

8. And this is why the fear that the remaining SD's will "overturn the will"

of the voters is plain silly. At worst the remaining undecideds will split but more likely tilt to Obama. This will be effectively over in June shortly after the last primary (less than six weeks). We'll still have plenty of time to come together and go after McCain-Bush and the GOP.
