The Rout Is On: Obama Adds Four More

Barack Obama today took the lead in superdelegate endorsements for the first time, marking a potential turning point in the endgame of the Democratic primary as he's picked up 13 superdelegates in the past 24 hours.

Obama picked up four superdelegates Saturday, after rounding up nine such endorsements the day before. The gains erased Hillary Clinton’s once-imposing lead among the party officials and insiders who play a key part in selecting the nominee.

Worse for Clinton, two of Obama's Saturday endorsements came from superdelegates previously declared for Clinton.
