Wednesday Superdelegate Watch

Wed May 21, 2008 at 06:29:57 PM PDT

Today, Hillary Clinton added one superdelegate while Barack Obama added two. As always, Democratic Convention Watch is tracking them as they happen.

Ohio add-on delegate William Craig Bashein announced support for Clinton, while Mississippi Democratic party chair Wayne Dowdy and Rep. Joe Courtney of Connecticut endorsed Obama.

Courtney's was the only district in Connecticut that was won -- in a narrow margin -- by Sen. Hillary Clinton. So, unlike the rest of the state's congressional delegation, he had held out on a presidential endorsement, leaving himself among the last remaining superdelegates.

His choice this morning, which spokesman Brian Farber said he had come to within the last two days, as Kentucky and Oregon decided their primaries, leaves only one Connecticut superdelegate undecided: Nancy DiNardo, chairwoman of the state Democratic Party.

So a slow endorsement day ends with Obama having gained one over Clinton.
