CNN: Obama cuts Clinton superdelegate lead by 18
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Lots of discussion about whether Obama’s recent success will help him cut into Clinton’s superdelegate lead. Well the lead has been cut. According to CNN’s superdelegate count, Obama has gained 25 superdelegates since their last count, while Clinton has gained 7, for a net gain of 18. The delegate tracker at left has been updated.
CBS has also updated their numbers, with Obama gaining 20 and Clinton gaining 18 superdelegates.

Democratic Convention Watch: Will Bill Richardson make an endorsement?

Will Bill Richardson make an endorsement?
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
In an article titled “Clinton, Obama search for heroes in ‘super delegates'” [I could have sworn there was another major contender for the nomination], the LA Times discusses the race for former candidate Bill Richardson’s endorsement:
Erstwhile presidential candidate and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson looms as a trophy endorsement. The candidate who reels in Richardson gets a super delegate and a high-profile Latino who has the loyalty of New Mexico state lawmakers and donors — all rolled into one.

Democratic Convention Watch: Will Michigan matter?

Will Michigan matter?
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
We’ve been making fun of the Michigan delegation’s lack of hotel rooms at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but with the Michigan primary two days away, it’s time to get serious. Michigan was stripped of all its delegates (both elected and superdelegates) because they violated the DNC’s rules on frontloading of primaries. The DNC had good intentions – trying to bring some order to the mad rush to move each state’s primary earlier and earlier in order to have an effect on the nomination – and they used the only power they had – stripping of delegates.
So where does that leave us? With a primary on Tuesday with technically no delegates at stake, and even stranger, only Hillary Clinton in the ballot. How did this happen?:

Protests to have daily ‘”themes”
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Those outside the Pepsi Center are preparing for the convention also:
Activists targeting August’s Democratic National Convention are developing a sophisticated protest plan – one including a different demonstration “theme” each day. In addition, organizers intend to help individual groups aim their protests to specific state convention delegations, and hope to throw a five-day festival in Civic Center with music, a health clinic, and even meals for the homeless.

Superdelegate switches from Edwards to Obama
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The beginning of a trend, or just a one-time thing? North Carolina Congressman G.K. Butterfield has switched his endorsement from John Edwards to Barack Obama:
U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield has endorsed Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for president. The Wilson Democrat had previously backed former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards’ bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Superdelegates: Numbers Madness
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
In the sidebar at left we’re tracking the number of superdelegates who have announced endorsements. But we’re not the only organization tracking superdelegate endorsements. (Although we are the only site that backs up their numbers with published sources). And the numbers vary depending on whether the superdelegates for Florida and Michigan are counted.
Here’s where our numbers stand vs some major media organizations:

So what is a “Distinguished Party Leader?”
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
As we unravel the mystery of who is a superdelegate for the 2008 Democratic Convention, there is a special category of superdelegates called “Distinguished Party Leaders”. What is a Distinguished Party Leader, or, as we like to call them here, DPLs?
All former Democratic Presidents, all former Democratic Vice Presidents, all former Democratic Leaders of the U.S. Senate, all former Democratic Speakers of the U.S. House of Representatives and Democratic Minority Leaders, as applicable, and all former Chairs of the Democratic National Committee. – DNCC

Howard Dean knows paint
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
You thought Governor Howard Dean only knew how to turn around a political party and fight for all 50 states instead of only fighting for the easy pickings.
Once a symbol of failure within urban schools, the experiment that is the newly reopened Manual High School got a visit and a helping hand from top members of the Democratic Party on Thursday.
