WASHINGTON (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama closed in Friday on Sen. Hillary Clinton’s lead among superdelegates, the Democratic Party officials who hold the balance of power in determining which candidate will be the party’s nominee for president in November. The Obama campaign announced new support from seven superdelegates Friday — including one who had been backing Clinton. Clinton also announced a new supporter, maintaining her superdelegate lead over the Illinois senator. But that lead has shrunk to four, according to CNN estimates — the narrowest it has been to date. She led by more than 100 superdelegates at the beginning of the year. |
