2 more for Obama - Here Come the Superdelegates...

Thu Apr 17, 2008 at 05:37:07 AM PDT

The last question of the "debate" last night was a pitch to superdelegates.  Now it appears that some of the remaining undecided superdelegates are responding.

Oklahoma Superdelegate Reggie Whitten endorsed Barack Obama today.

"I have decided to endorse Senator Barack Obama and will work wholeheartedly to see him become the next President of the United States. Some say there is no particular need to endorse at the present time. However, I believe this is a defining moment, not only for our Party, but also more importantly for our country. Therefore, I made the decision to commit now."

It also appears that DC add-on Harry Thomas Jr. has chosen to endorse Obama after watching last night's reprehensible hatchet job.

There are growing rumors of additional support from Pennsylvania later today.

Additionally, Obama also picked up some significant (non-superdelegate) support in South Dakota - Twenty-five Democratic state lawmakers have endorsed his candidacy (added to the existing support of former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, Sen. Tim Johnson and Congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin).

The Philadelphia Daily News has also joined Pittsburgh-Post Gazette and the Scranton Times-Tribune in endorsing Obama.

It is my sincere hope that today will be THE day that the superdelegates finally take a stand.
