Obama only needs 139 more after John Edwards endorsement

News announced today is that former US Democratic Presidential contender John Edwards has endorsed Barack Obama for President. Despite Hillary Clinton's big win in West Virginia this Super-super Delegate endorsement will undoubtedly harm her chances of gaining the Democrat Presidential nomination, as will the other two Super Delegate announcements for Obama today.

Speaking at a rally in Michigan with Obama, Edwards said: "The Democratic voters in America have made their choice and so have I, There is one man who knows and understands that this is a time for bold leadership...there is one man who knows in his heart that it is time to create one America, not two - and that man is Barack Obama."

Obama now has 1887 pledged delegates to Clinton's 1718.

Look, if a superdelegate tells he or she is endorsing Obama, that doesn't bind him or her to vote Obama in the Democratic National Convention. Indeed, many of those superdelegates who now endorse Obama, earlier endorsed Hillary. And in half a year many things can change.
