D-Day for Superdelegate Steny?
By Wally EdgeIf Sen. Barack Obama passes the majority threshold of pledged delegates in today's contests in Oregon and Kentucky, he will have met the criteria for an endorsement from several major superdelegates, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Recently, House Majority Whip James Clyburn told The State that he, Pelosi and House Leader Steny Hoyer would endorse together. Hoyer had not set a numerical standard for a candidate to attain his endorsement, but has suggested that the race might not need to go all the way to June.

Super Delegates Decide!
Even though our Primary was on February 12 and Barack Obama won by 25%, Hillary Clinton still has a greater number of superdelegates, than does Obama. This is ridiculous! From my records the following are still uncommitted:
Sen. B. Cardin
Congressman J. Sarbanes
Congressman C. VanHollen
J. Sweeney
Heather Mizeur
S. Hoyer
B. Leong-Hong
At this point I think we need an explanation from all of them regarding why they have not publicly stated their choice!
We need to bring the Democratic Party together and they are not helping!!!
