Superdelegates Flood to Obama
The stream of superdelegate gains for Obama following the May 6 primaries in Indiana and North Carolina grew to a torrent in the first three days of June as the Florida and Michigan situations were resolved and the final two contests were held.  On June 3 Obama gained about 60 superdelegates including 15 members of Congress.
