Obama Gets Three More Supers

Obama has a 3-0 lead in today’s superdelegate count. He picked up two Maryland delegates and one from Oklahoma.

The chairman and vice-chairman of the Maryland Democratic Party are throwing their support behind Sen. Barack Obama on the eve of Tuesday’s primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, giving the Illinois senator at least two additional superdelegates.

Maryland Democratic officials said this morning that a few more of the state’s uncommitted superdelegates — including state Del. Heather R. Mizeur of Montgomery County — could also announce their decisions today…

Party chairman Michael Cryor and Vice chairman Lauren Dugas Glover had previously said they would stay neutral during the primary season because of their positions. Cryor had referred to himself as being uncommitted, but not undecided.

And:

Kalyn Free, an at-large member of the Democratic National Committee, today announced that she supports Illinois Senator Barack Obama for the party’s presidential nomination. As a DNC member, Free will serve as a superdelegate to the Democratic National Convention. Free is also founder and President of INDN’s List, an organization dedicated to recruiting and training American Indian candidates.

Drip, drip, drip.
