LOL - that is hilarious!

DCW - thank you for he update ;)
Thanks for the update. I am very glad you're keeping us informed.
You all are great!
*Could I ask that you please continue to update the table at least once or twice a day?
Reasons:
1)I know it's over, but there are a few people who need help seeing it is *really* over.
2) I can't find another source that is close to up to date. If there is could you provide a link?
3) The table is so helpful.
Just till BO is endorsed by HRC...
Thanks for your service and I am grateful for what you do!
bless you bless you bless you!!!!!
You are the BEST!
Heather
Great job! Keep the updates coming, even if it is once a day!
Thank you so much for caring on. I've been lurking for months and didn't know what to do with no solid news today. I hope you continue on and in the future help educate us about electoral votes and all that will come. Once I found your site I have come to rely on your accurate and fair reporting and look forward to reading your blog during the convention.
Regarding FRIDAY
From CNN...
On Friday, Democratic leaders in New York, including Gov. David Paterson, state legislators and city council members, plan to endorse Obama at a 1 p.m. news conference at New York's City Hall, the sources said.

matt:
how about maintaining the list of who HASN'T yet endorsed, just so we get the pleasure of seeing that dwindle, AND so we can see who the last chickens are?
Gov Ted Strickland (OH) - switched from Clinton to Obama
http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/06/05/politics/horserace/entry4157282.shtml
Ground control to Al Gore. Come in please...
Thanks for keeping this up.
I have to be honest your ticker was my biggest draw here and got me to read other things.
When you stopped updating it I kind of started visiting here less. I'm glad to see the numbers were updated this morning, but could you please also update the chart?
Thanks!
We'll do one more list tonight, and while we won't update the complete lists, we'll post a list of those supers who were never heard from.
Looks like on the Obama website they added two more to yesterday's announcement of 47 SDs now it says 49.
* DNC Member Garry Shay (CA)
* DNC Member Yolanda Caraway (D.C.)
Harry Reid endorsed Obama on CNN - video on CNN.com
