Sen. Hillary Clinton's superdelegate lead over Sen. Barack Obama was narrowed even more Saturday, according to CNN's latest delegate estimate.

Obama closed to within one superdelegate of Clinton, picking up the support of four party leaders after a flurry of new endorsements over the past two days. Clinton, meanwhile, picked up the votes of two superdelegates but lost one to Obama.

That brings Clinton's superdelegate total to 273 and Obama's to 272. At the beginning of the year, Clinton led the superdelegate race by more than 100.

Superdelegates are Democratic officials who hold the balance of power in determining the party's presidential nominee.

Obama holds a commanding lead in the number of pledged delegates awarded from primaries and caucuses: 1,592 to Clinton's 1,424.

Since Friday night, Obama has picked up four superdelegates, including Arizona congressman Harry Mitchell and Carol Burke and Kevin Rodriquez of the Virgin Islands.

"Like the primary voters of my congressional district, which Sen. Obama carried, I am inspired by Barack's vision for America, his ability to unify our country and bring much-needed to change to Washington," Mitchell said in a statement Saturday.

Rodriquez had backed Clinton but decided to switch his endorsement, citing Obama's ability to unite the Democratic Party and win the White House, according to Obama's campaign.

Kristi Cumming, named an add-on superdelegate by the Utah Democratic Party late Friday night, also said she will vote for Obama.

Neither candidate has the 2,025 total delegates needed for the nomination. Obama has 1,862 total delegates and Clinton has 1,697, according to a CNN survey.

There are only 217 pledged delegates up for grabs in the remaining contests.

After Clinton's narrow win Tuesday in Indiana and and her double-digit loss in North Carolina, former Sen. George McGovern, the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee, said he had decided to back Obama over the former first lady. McGovern is not a superdelegate.

Despite Clinton's efforts, the Clinton camp appears to be planning an exit strategy, according to Lawrence O'Donnell, a Huffington Post contributor who cited Clinton insiders.

"What the senior campaign official has told me is that they will go through the final votes on June 3," O'Donnell said on CNN's "American Morning." "Remember, Hillary is going to win maybe three of the elections, and Obama is going to win maybe three elections coming out of it." Watch what O'Donnell says Clinton insiders are saying behind doors »

O'Donnell said the source told him that the Clinton campaign would make its case to the superdelegates for about a week after the primaries ended.

Meanwhile, former Democratic contender John Edwards said Friday on NBC and MSNBC that Obama is the likely nominee. Edwards is not a superdelegate.

Edwards said Friday that he worried the continuing campaign could take a toll on the Democratic Party's chances in November.

"I think it's fine for Hillary to keep making the case for her," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "But when that shifts to everything that is wrong with , then we're doing damage instead of being helpful."

It appears that the will of the American people and the Superdelegates are making the correct call, nasty and underhanded tactics did not eventually save the political day for Clinton, so it goes...Why wasn't Clinton's supporters more racially diverse and was all the ugly things that were said about Clinton on the other side of the political aisle turned out to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

No, hilLIARy connected well with all Americans.	12
I agree, hilLIARy could not connect with a diverse America as did Bill.	8
Yes, most things said about hilLIARy by the members of the Republican Party were/are accurate.	1
No, the Republicans are full of it.	1

It's a sign how stupid a lot of Americans are. Obama is without a doubt the worst candidate available, and will get trounced by McCain in the general election because 1) He has no real platform other than 'change', all he has to do is say 'change' and the idiots who support him freak out and gush and their panties get wet. WHAT is his plan? 2) Anything he does have opinions about puts him so far left he makes marxism look like a conservative movement.

It's no wonder you support him.

Even women are being led by the almighty penis. I have no respect for prick whipped women.

^ Now, now you two, don't be that way, your B*TCH of a candidate lost, so get over it and yourselves...

Obama will cream McCain just as he did the B*TCH, now, go wipe your noses and try to get on with your delusional lives 025

BTW: As for your asertion that Obama having any real platform, I guess participating in Bush war of lies kept you from viewing the both candidates debates Jappy, as far as referring to his supporters as idiots, you are fighting in Bush's war, now who is really the idiot here son?

Forgetmenot, you obvious don't have a clue, injecting the subject of "penis," only goes to show where your mind is when politics is the subject matter...

Well you two, I would love to spend more reading about your whining, (here's some cheese by the way)however, I have more important matters before me, like celebrating..."YES HE CAN, AND HE DID." 025
