[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Obama nabs two Virgin Island supers — Kevin Rodriquez, who switched from Clinton, and Carole Burke. Also picks up Utah DNC super Kristi Cumming after the state elects her as its add-on

Clinton gets Massachusetts DNC super Arthur Powell after state makes him its add-on.

More evidence of Saturday Hillmomentum:

Hillary held a private rally-the-troops conference call with her super-delegate supporters this afternoon, urging them to believe that "this race is not over," vowing to them she'd promote Dem unity after the primary...

...

The call -- convened for super-dels committed to supporting her -- provided a glimpse into the campaign's behind-the-scenes efforts to prevent supporters from bolting even as her prospects grow bleaker by the day.

...

Hillary top adviser Harold Ickes was on the call, too. Some noteworthy tidbits from the call:

...

Ickes came under questioning from a super-delegate who said he would have "a problem" if she didn't win the pledged del count or the popular vote, and declined to say what she would do. Indeed, he repeatedly maintained that she would still be ahead in the popular vote at the end of the contest, Florida and Michigan included, and predicted flatly that she would be behind by less than 100 delegates at the end of the voting.

One more super for Obama! Hillmomentum continues unabated!:

Obama picked up an Ohio add on, AP reports: “Ohio labor leader Dave Regan, who was selected as a superdelegate Saturday, told the AP that Obama is ‘the candidate that can unite the country and move beyond the divineness and gridlock that we have today.’ Regan recognized that Clinton won the Ohio primary March 4. ‘But that was two months ago. I think as the campaign has unfolded, Obama is looking like a stronger and stronger candidate,’ Regan said. ‘I think it's very likely he will be the nominee.’”

The campaign confirms Regan as well. Regan is the fourth Obama has picked up today.

What's so laughable about that is that everytime a Hillary surrogate like Lanny Davis goes on CNN, they say it's not about the numbers when asked how she can possibly take the delegate lead or the popular vote. She's hoping to craft some kind of voodoo election magic to get the nomination.

It's all about fuzzy math. As if we didn't have enough of that for the last 8 years.

Hmmm. Sounds familiar.

So, Obama picked up five and Hillary netted a loss of one today.

Yup. The Hillmomentum just won't stop!

Obama picked up the endorsement of Arizona congressman Harry Mitchell. Mitchell is the fifth superdelegate Obama has picked up today.
