Cardin in undeclared superdelegate pow-wow

Two takeaways from today's superdelegate happenings:

1. It looks like House Majority Whip James Clyburn will endorse Barack Obama tomorrow, sans leadership partners Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi -- despite a claim that was attributed to him.

2. Ben Cardin and fellow undeclared Senators Jon Tester, Tom Carper and Ken Salazar were summoned by elder colleague Tom Harkin to the Democrats' D.C. headquarters for a discussion on whether they should endorse or not. Obama won the contests in all of their states. Afterwards, Cardin was quoted at length by CNN.

I think most people realize this process is coming to an end, and it's important to bring this matter to a conclusion. As I've said all along, I've said my support would be for the person who had the most support, without any specific formula, in the primaries and caucuses and had the momentum going into the general election and has our best chance of winning in November. I think most of the information is known. Just two more states to go.
