Looks Queen Hillary's coronation is not going to be a cake walk after
all. So sad - (or not.)

WA****NGTON - Barack Obama erased Hillary Rodham Clinton's once-
imposing lead among superdelegates Saturday when he added more
endorsements from the group of Democrats who will decide the party's
nomination for president.
Obama added superdelegates from Utah, Ohio and Arizona, as well as two
from the Virgin Islands who had previously backed Clinton. The
additions enabled Obama to surpass Clinton's total for the first time
in the campaign. He had picked up nine endorsements Friday.
The milestone is im****tant because Clinton would need to win over the
superdelegates by a wide margin to claim the nomination. They are a
group that Clinton owned before the first caucus, when she was able to
cash in on the popularity of the Clinton brand among the party
faithful.
Those party insiders, however, have been steadily streaming to Obama
since he started posting wins in early voting states.
"I always felt that if anybody establishes himself as the clear
leader, the superdelegates would fall in line," said Don Fowler, a
former chairman of the Democratic National Committee.
