As he makes it clear that the real problem is knocking out 100% - which was a choice each campaign had representatives in on - he might wish to demur till the Rules and Bylaws committee meets, but he indicates that 50% would be fair , just as it was when he headed the DNC. Let the word go forth: that’s where the end of this primary is: 50% of the FL and MI Delegates seated. He set the benchmark; let’s not toss out that bench, too. Otherwise there’s no point to having any rules at all. ...

Here's a quick roundup of today's super-delegate action: Barack Obama has made more progress today on the super-delegate front, extending his newfound super-del lead over Hillary Clinton with four new endorsements versus none for her.

According to the Obama camp's numbers, he is now exactly 150 Delegates away from clinching the nomination. ...

By Philip Fernando in LA for Asian Tribune Irrespective of the West Virginia primary outcome on Tuesday, where polls indicate a good win for Senator Hillary Clinton, Senator Barrack Obama has garnered largest number of pledged Delegates-close to 1,840. He also has 273 super Delegates on his side, the same number Clinton had on her side. The contest now seems almost out of reach for Senator Clinton according to most observers. Barrack Obama painted himself as the new kid on the block. His self-revelatory style on race dynamics is refreshing, which helped wipe out his some what lack of experience. read more ...

AP looks at the numbers and sees Obama will sew up the nomination within a couple weeks: Barack Obama's wave of superdelegate endorsements puts him within reach of the Democratic presidential nomination by the end of the primary season on June 3 - even if he loses half of the remaining six contests. The Illinois senator has picked up 26 superdelegates in the past week. At that pace, he will reach the number of Delegates needed to clinch the nomination - 2,025 - in the next three weeks, when Delegates from the remaining primaries are included. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's best chance to slow Obama is to move the goal posts. She will get that chance May 31 when the Democratic National Committee's rules panel considers proposals to seat the Delegates that had been stripped from Florida and Michigan. Those two states violated national party rules by holding their primaries in January and lost their Delegates. Those goals posts aren't moving. But, there is continued movement towards Obama. In fact, it's going from a wave to a cascade towards the inevitable nominee. Politicians want to get on the winning team. I mentioned one superdelegate endorsing Obama, (Rep. Joe Donnelly), in the open thread below. Jed reports on two pick ups last night, one in DC and one in Maryland. Interesting, the delegate from Maryland, Jack Johnson from Prince Georges County is a pledged delegate, not a super : Unlike superdelegates, who are f ...
