More than one third of total Superdelegates remain uncommitted. http://www.politico.com/superdelegates/
Of course, he has increased his lead by picking up more delegates in Iowa and California including some of Edwards' delegates. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/0...e_n_91719.html |

I am actually quite conservative, more independent than Democratic, I guess I represent the ‘right wing’ of the Democratic Party, so there are a number of issues I don’t support that they do. I stay because our party is the most idealistic and optimistic, and with all its problems remains on the forefront of positive change. That is why, in this race, it is not about issues for me as much as it is about integrity, integrity of a party I’ve always belonged to. If Clinton is willing to act in such a selfish, dirty and derisive manner to win against
this candidate, then she deserves to lose. I may be wrong, but I’m willing to throw the “
new black” out with the bathwater.
