Obama Ahead Among ... Well, Just Read

Barack Obama has now pulled even with Hillary Clinton in endorsements of elected officials who are also super delegates, according to the count of Bloomberg news at least. As Bloomberg puts it, "Barack Obama has pulled even with Hillary Clinton in endorsements from top elected officials, with a surge in support from congressional freshmen and governors from Republican-dominated states."

(ed.note: The key on the super delegate count is, once again, whether you count Florida and Michigan. Remember, those states didn't just lose their pledged delegates. Their super delegates are disqualified too.)

Late Update: This post originally, and incorrectly, stated that Obama was now ahead in super delegates. That was my error (to some degree helped along by Bloomberg's lead). He's ahead among super delegates who are elected public officials rather than Democratic party officials. But really super delegates are super delegates; and she's ahead with about 30.
