Obama takes the lead in superdelegate count – CNN.com

Sen. Barack Obama has surpassed Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for superdelegates, according to CNN’s latest count.

Obama on Monday picked up endorsements from Maine Rep. Tom Allen and Dolly Strazar, a superdelegate from Hawaii.

“Most of the primary voters across the nation have now spoken. It is time to bring a graceful end to the primary campaign,” Allen said.

“We now need to unify the Democratic Party and focus on electing Sen. Obama and a working majority in the United States Senate. That is how we can change the direction of the country,” said Allen, who is also a candidate for the U.S. Senate.

He said Obama and Clinton are both “supremely qualified to be president.”

Good to hear these folks are finally falling in line with the front-runner.  As each super-delegate gives in, the door closes on Mrs. Clinton…and by now it should be pretty much slammed shut.
