    Our Saturday update, which had Obama +2, doesn't appear to have included the additions of two add-on delegates -- from Colorado and Kansas -- to Barack Obama's total. On Sunday, California chose its add-on delegates, with three going to Hillary Clinton and two to Obama: The additional superdelegates pledged for Clinton are: Carolyn Doggett, executive director of the California Teachers Association; former state Assemblyman Dario Frommer; and Dora Rubio, wife of Kern County Supervisor Michael Rubio, a former aide to state Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter. The two pledged to Obama are William Quay Hays, an entrepreneur and developer from Pacific Palisades, and Lou Paulson, president of the California Professional Firefighters. - Mercury News Sunday night, Washington State Democratic Party Chair Dwight Pelz announced support for Obama. Beyond his respect for Obama: "At this point in time, however, I feel the voters have spoken," Pelz said, "that Sen. Obama will be our nominee, and that it is time for us as Democrats to begin the final stretch of this historic 2008 campaign to take back America. It is time to unify our party around one candidate." Kansas Democratic Party Chair Larry Gates also added to Obama's tally: Senator Obama inspired record numbers of voters to turn out to the Kansas caucuses, which not only strengthens our Party but also the whole political process. He is the best candidate for Democrats to stand behind as we work to take on John McCain – who supports the war in Iraq and Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans – in November. On the heels of the West Virginia primary, Senator Robert Byrd endorsed Obama as well: "As people all across this great nation know, I have been one of the most outspoken opponents of the Bush administration's misguided war in Iraq and its saber rattling around the globe," Byrd said. He said he had "no intention of involving myself in the Democratic campaign for President in the midst of West Virginia's primary election. But the stakes this November could not be higher." And two Alaska DNC members also endorsed Obama. So the totals (according to what I've found) are Saturday, Obama +4; Sunday, Obama +3 and Clinton +3; and Monday, Obama +4. Obama therefore gained 8 on Clinton for the three-day period.
