Obama gets another superdelegate
U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky (IN-1) has announced his support for Barack Obama this morning. Who else thinks a whole bunch will be announced today to offset WV?

Actually he's picked up more than that - this from Daily Kos (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/5/14/6473/15490/291/515322):
1. Democrats Abroad Chair Christine Schon Marques (worth 0.5 of a delegate)
2. Indiana Rep. Pete Visclosky.
3. Young Democrat Chairs Awais Khaleel (WI) and Lauren Wolfe (MI) endorsed late last night (although credit with only one delegate since Michigan supers don't count yet...)
So that's 2.5 delegates (the Michigan one doesn't count yet...) ;)

I was just really excited to see this. Pete is my congressman and has been a hold out on endorsing. We're both from now infamous "Mayor fight! Mayor fight!" Lake County, IN.

I believe he now has 2.5: Vicklisky, Christine Schon Marques, Dems abroad ( the .5 ) and the two supers from College Democrats. He only gets one of these for the time being since one lives in the state of MI. So does not get counted until MI is resolved. NOw someone may need to check on the College Democrats, not sure if these are really new.
