MUST HIGHLIGHT TO SEE CANDIDATES, ITS A MYSTERY HAHA!

Here's a list of Superdelegates to the 2008 Democratic Convention that have officially announced who they plan to nominate.

We have also created a list of superdelegates that have not committed to a candidate.

There are 795 (not including Michigan and Florida) total Democratic superdelegates that the nominees are trying to be endorsed by. This consists of 719 regular superdelegates and 76 unpledged add-ons. We will continue to add the unpledged add-ons as soon as they are named by each state. (Note: Democrats Abroad superdelegates get 1/2 vote each, so there are actually 799 superdelegates casting 795 votes).

Super-delegates highlighted in red are from Michigan or Florida and do not count toward the nomination at this time.

We now have a breakdown of how the superdelegate endorsements from each state compare to the primary/caucus results.

Totals for each candidate can be see in the Delegate Tracker in the left sidebar.

Although, it seems like Obama is on an endless winning streak, Clinton might gain support from the Superdelegates, but many have remained undecided and some have decided as I listed above. This election is all about CANDIDATE APPEAL LIKE IT DESCRIBES IN OUR BOOK, FROM CHARISMA TO ENERGETIC SPEECHES, AND THE GOOD GUY IS OBAMA. For me, it seems like the Xerox statement may have cost Hillary the election because she's seen as the villain and mean, because of people's perceptions of her. I truly think it's going to be a battle between Obama and McCain in the end, which will like always be close, BUT Obama will win in the end because of 1 word: CHANGE. lol America likes optimism and hope in a time of disarray economically and in terms of warfare.

It is kind of a screwy system but thats what the party wants to do so thats the way it is. Not really a clear answer on how to do the election process right now
