Posted by Ashish on 06.03.2008

The flood gates are open as Obama has won the Democratic nomination...

Barack Obama has 24.5 new superdelegates today in:

* Michigan Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (half vote)
* Massachusetts Rep. John Olver
* South Carolina Rep. Clyburn
* Missouri State Rep. Maria Chappelle-Nadal
* Michigan NEA/MEA Boards of Directors member Joyce Lalonde (half vote)
* Michigan DNC member Debbie Dingell (half vote)
* Michigan DNC Member Rick Wiener (half vote)
* Maine DNC member Jennifer DeChant
* Ohio DNC member Joyce Beatty
* Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (half vote)
* South Carolina Representative John Spratt
* Massachusetts DNC member Deb Kozikowsi
* Mississippi Democratic Party Chair Carnelia Fondren
* California DNC member John Perez
* Michigan DNC member Tina Abbott (half vote)
* Former President Jimmy Carter
* DC DNC member Ben Johnson (who has switched from Clinton)
* California DNC member Kamil Hasan (who has switched from Clinton)
* Florida DNC member Diane Glasser (half vote)
* California Rep. Maxine Waters (who has switched from Clinton)
* Deleware Secretary of State Harriet Windsor
* Delaware State Party Chair John Daniello
* Deleware DNC member Rhett Ruggerio (who has switched from Clinton)
* Kansas Rep. Dennis Moore
* Maryland DNC member Bel Leong-Hong
* LA Rep. William Jefferson
* PA Rep. Bob Brady
* MI DNC member Mike Tardiff (half vote)

Hillary Clinton has 1.5 new superdelegates today in Florida DNC member Jon Ausman (half vote) and WY DNC member Cindy Nunley, but she has also lost four, for a net loss of 2.5.

Obama has also gained ten John Edwards pledged delegates. The Obama camp now says that ALL John Edwards pledged delegates have switched to Obama except for three in Florida. This has added 7.5 delegates to Obama's total, making his total gain for the day 31 delegates.

Obama is now at 2109.5 total delegates, 8.5 away from the nomination. He is now well on his way to clinching the Democratic nomination tonight as he will get a minimum of 14 more delegates from Montana and South Dakota. The Associated Press reports that based on their private talks with several superdelegates, their count already has Obama over 2118 and clinching the nomination.

And several other endorsements are expected today, so keep checking this page throughout the day.

Dear American Voters,

Hon. Senator McCain and Obama, besides each having many attributes and characteristics. The critical differences in my professional, political, and personal opinion are as under:

1. Presidential "Temperament and Composer".
2. Little Washington "insider Versus outsider" connectedness.
3. Vision and mission for our nation future rather than past.
4. American policies first USA centric than other countries centric.

In my professional opinion one senator has it and the other does not. We need one for our Greatgrand Nation to address our all these challenges with a fresh, clean and new slate.

God Bless America. its diverse people, and our Greatgrand Nation.

Yours truly,
