WASHINGTON - AP

Obama picked up the backing of nine superdelegates, party leaders who attend the convention, delegates by virtue of their positions and are not selected in primaries and caucuses.

"After careful consideration, I have reached the conclusion that Barack Obama can best bring about the change that our country so desperately wants and needs."

10 superdelegates  have switched allegiances from Clinton to Obama. None have publicly switched the other way.

In the overall race for the nomination, Obama leads with 1,859.5 delegates, to 1,697 for Clinton. Obama is just 165.5 delegates short of the 2,025 delegates needed to win it.

So it looks like a McCain/Obama race to the White House.  The campaign should change, since neither man was as quick to sling mud as Lady McBeth, except in self defense.  Hopefully the campaigns will now proceed with honor 

Neither man is apt to enforce our immigration laws, especially McCain who has sponsored previous legislation with Teddy K to benefit illegal invaders.  McCain is definitely more of a hawk than Obama, but other bloggers tell me that we can not and will not pull out of the Mid East.  The oil crisis and its snowballing inflation is threatening the survival of lower income families.  None of the three seemed to have a grip on the economics of the nation, but either can seek out teams of top notch advisors.  Over all, I feel better knowing Ms Clinton won't have her finger on the red button at 3:00 in the morning.  McCain is predictable, but Obama is a mystery to me, one with whom I am not yet comfortable.  Time tells all.
