[KSinTX]

19. McGovern isn't a superdelegate.

A party elder but not an unpledged Party Leader.

10. AP interviewed 70 supers today- June 3rd is the final deadline.

The Associated Press interviewed more than 70 undeclared superdelegates or their representatives Wednesday, and many said they don't want to get involved until the voting ends on June 3.

However, the comments of some of the uncommitteds were anything but encouraging for Clinton.

"I'm just wondering about the viability of Clinton's campaign at this point," said Laurie Weahkee, an add-on delegate from New Mexico. "I really want to hear from her more about if she wants to stay in the race — if the reason remains very concrete."

Pennsylvania Rep. Mike Doyle said Clinton's pitch to superdelegates has been that she can win the popular vote, but that was undercut when Obama netted more than 200,000 popular votes in the Tuesday contests.

"The math just got very tough for her after last night," Doyle said. "I think most of us out of respect for her are content to wait a little longer. ... The absolute best way for this to end is for the candidates to end it, not the superdelegates. That's the ending we all dream about every night."

12. Sixty-eight percent

That's the percentage of the remaining delegates that Clinton needs to win.

Thirty-seven percent.

That's the percentage of the remaining delegates that Obama needs to win.

13. **** ZOGBY SAYS 30 SDS IN NEXT 2 DAYS

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7387919.stm



Where do we go from here? My understanding is that probably today, but certainly within 48 hours, about 30 super-delegates will endorse Mr Obama. That should give him further momentum.

[goclark]

20. Hope Zogby is right on this one

Fired Up and ready to go!

[phrigndumass]

16. You are a great tie-in between the two. Thanks.

Grantcart, the bell that rings on the hour, every hour, tolling the demise of Campaign Clinton.

I am so excited about all of this - I think our down-ticket dems in Texas will have a good chance this year.
