Saturday Super-Delegate Roundup
It's only mid-afternoon on a Saturday, but four super-delegates endorsements have already come out:
• In New Mexico, where Hillary Clinton very narrowly won the party-run primary on Super Tuesday, state party chair Brian Colón has endorsed Barack Obama.
• In South Carolina, former state superintendent Inez Tenenbaum, an Obama supporter, won the add-on slot in a state where he won the primary by a landslide.
• In Maryland, where Obama won the primary by a wide margin but the state party establishment has supported Clinton, the state party committee selected one Obama-supporter, former Gov. Parris Glendening, and one Hillary-backer, former Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, to fill their two add-on slots.
The opposite scenario -- a state where Clinton won, but many state party leaders back Obama and have it in their power to control the add-on seats -- will be coming up next Saturday in Massachusetts. It will be interesting to see what happens then.
The score so far: Obama +3, Clinton +1.
