On a fairly slow news day so far in the presidential primaries, Barack Obama announces another superdelegate -- US Rep. David Wu, of Oregon.
That means Obama now has three, and Hillary has one, since Pennsylvania.
The more important point is probably the more obvious one: That's not exactly a flood. So, the superdelegates -- predictably -- have remained frozen by Hillary's 9.2 percent win in the Keystone State.
Wu brings it back to Iraq. He was in Congress in 2002, and unlike Hillary he voted against authorizing war in Iraq:
"I think we are blessed to have two strong candidates for president. I am endorsing Barack Obama for president today because I believe that he is best suited to turn the page on this sorry episode in American history. He and I both had the judgment to oppose the Iraq War from the very beginning.
"Every dollar that we have spent in Iraq—which adds up to over $500 billion so far—is a dollar not spent at home, a school not built, a bridge not repaired. We need new policies both at home and abroad. Like Americans, the international community wants to see real change in America and I believe that Senator Obama embodies that change."
