College democrat representatives Lauren Wolfe and Awais Khaleel endorsed Barack Obama on Tuesday, using YouTube to unveil their preference. "As Superdelegates who represent college students, we support senator Barack Obama," Wolfe says in the video. "Even though we heard responses in support of both senator Clinton and senator Obama, there was one candidate who started out ahead, and never looked back," says Awais. The two were among the remaining undeclared Superdelegates being heavily lobbied by both the Clinton and Obama campaigns, as well as their supporters . A previous THREAT LEVEL post reported that the two held out until now because they'd wanted to hold on their influence within the Democratic party on behalf of their constituents. But maybe there was also a more mundane reason -- they were busy replying to the 1,000 Facebook messages and 5,000 e-mails that they received concerning their decisions. Though Facebook has in the past tried to make special adjustments to its platform to accommodate the scale of political activities, the system obviously wasn't put in place here. "Facebook even shut down our profiles because we responded to nearly every message that we got, and they thought it was spam," laughs Khaleel in the endorsement video. [But] "We knew that this was a way to reach college students that was accessible to them!" Wolfe says. See Also: Obama Camp ... Source: www.channel4.com --- 16 hours ago

Barack Obama may end up losing some of his delegate margin in West Virginia when the results come in tonight but his campaign continues to roll out the superdelegate endorsements today. Indiana Congressman Joe Donnelly and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin endorsed Obama this morning and the campaign held a conference call with former DNC Chair/Colorado Gov. Roy Romer to discuss his decision to back Obama. "A lot of people in the party are ready to close down the primary and get on with the general election," Romer told reporters. "This has been a very vigorous primary and Senator Clinton has been a very strong and formidable candidate, and she"s a strong friend . but the math is controlling. This race I believe is over, Senator Obama has accumulated a lead in delegates chosen by primaries, caucuses and Superdelegates that cannot be overcome." Romer was quick to point out that he was not trying to add any pressure on Clinton to drop out of the race, saying that clearing up the picture of where Superdelegates line up serves only to provide her with more information on which to base decisions. "The more clarity we can give, those of who are Superdelegates, the sooner we can make it clear, I think it will help her in whatever decision that she will make. But that is a decision she has to make," Romer said. Romer"s support is important beyond the superdelegate count because Colorado is potentially a key battleground and Obama won the ca ...

Despite Hillary Clinton's sizable victory in West Virginia last night, the Obama camp has rolled out two more Superdelegates this morning. Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN) has endorsed the Illinois senator, as well as Christine Schon Marques. Marques, the chair of the Democrats Abroad, is assigned .5 votes at the Democratic convention.
UPDATE: The two remaining college-aged Superdelegates have also endorsed Obama, via a Youtube posting last night.

Read statements below from the Superdelegates:
[Visclosky]
"America needs a President who offers a vision of the future comprised of sensible solutions to today's troubles. My choice is Senator Barack Obama, who promises to seek pragmatic, progressive solutions to problems like jobs, Iraq, the energy crisis, and healthcare. Barack Obama will bring people together, give them hope, spur change, and set the U.S. back on a course toward progress, prosperity, and global leadership."
[Marques]
"As a Democrat abroad, I've seen the repercussions of the Republican Administration every day, in the diminished reputation of the United States and in the lack of real leadership both at home and abroad, from the economy to the war in Iraq," said Schon Marques. "I'm proud to be a Democrat, and proud of both our candidates. Today I pledge my support to Senator Barack Obama because I believe that he will take our country in the right direction, he will restore America's reputation, he will honor ...
