Superdel 'Tsunami' for Obama

clipped from www.politico.com
A tsunami of superdelegates is poised to rush to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) over the next 12 hours, giving him a mathematical lock on his party’s presidential nomination.



The superdelegate surge is likely to swamp a few holdouts within the camp of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) who have been resisting a prompt concession.

Obama needs only about 36 more delegates, and he told The Associated Press in an interview that he expects to get about 15 of those in today’s primaries in South Dakota and Montana. Superdelegates will finish the job.



“A lot of people recognize that it is going to be time for us to pivot and move on,” he said.
I'm not even going to bother to keep track of the superdels as they move to Obama. McClatchy confirms 10 House members, 10 Senators, and 10 other SDs moving today. Obama needs between 30 and 40 delegates to close and these numbers, with expected numbers from primaries, would put him over the top.
