Super-Delegates, Super-Delegates, And More Super-Delegates

Since super-delegates appear to be the only topic (aside from the Illinois shooting) that anyone wants to talk about these days, here's a quick roundup of today's super-delegate news...

* A block of New York super-delegates in districts that went for Obama say they nonetheless plan to stick with Hillary.

* Super-delegate Christine Pelosi, Nancy's daughter, tells The Huffington Post that super-dels should follow the will of the voters, and recalls what happened to Al Gore in 2000 as a cautionary tale.

* Obama picks up a couple more supers -- Rep. Brian Baird of Washington state, and State Rep. Pete Jorgensen of Wyoming.

* On another delegate question, Ben Smith flags an eye-opening quote from Hillary supporter Bob Kerrey about Florida and Michigan: “You don’t change the rules in the middle of the game. Period.”

* Obama tells reporters that he hasn't heard from Rep. John Lewis and doesn't know whether Lewis is supporting him. On this score, his spokesperson is still supposed to release a statement today clarifying whether he's definitely switching to Obama at the convention. Stay tuned.
