Senator Clinton's seemingly insurmountable lead among superdelegates has dwindled to less than 20.

Yesterday, Sen. Jeff Bingaman (NM) , and former DNC Chairman Paul Kirk (MA) endorsed Obama.  

Today,Senator Clinton picked up Gov. Mike Easley (NC), but Obama picked up Kentucky Representative Ben Chandler and DNC member Richard Machacek (IA).  

According to Machacek

I think it needs to be over, and in good conscience, I can't fly in the face of my precinct, county and district... The raw numbers coming out of the district conventions really sat me down hard."

Obama now trails by only 19 superdelegates.
