Might this be the start of a potential flood. Water is under the door. The towels are down.
Obama’s picked up six in the superdelegate count so far today. He got 3.5 of those between 11:15 a.m. and noon — CA John A. Perez, MA John Olver, and three from Michigan — Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, Debbie Dingell, and Rick Wiener. (Keep in mind, those Michigan delegates count for half.) Dingell’s husband, Rep. John Dingell, is a Clinton endorser.
We reported on 2.5 in First Thoughts — Rep. Jim Clyburn, who came out officially for Obama on TODAY, as well as Michigan superdelegate Joyce Lalonde (half vote) and Missouri’s Maria Chapelle-Nadal.
As far as those Edwards pledged delegates, the remaining two in Iowa will likely announce their choice today. They are working on the details of when, how and, possibly, if it will be packaged with superdelegates.
New Hampshire Edwards pledged delegate Sharon Norgren told First Read she’s remaining uncommitted at least for the “next couple of days.” When asked if she’s leaning way or another, she said, “I don’t want to discuss it.”
