<title>Superdelegate Watch from Newser</title>
<description>Super Tuesday was a most pivotal day but it failed to deliver a knockout blow in the Democratic race.

        <description><![CDATA[Barack Obama today moved ahead of Hillary Clinton among superdelegates for the first time. Obama picked up nine more by midday&mdash;one a defector from Clinton's camp, the Los Angeles Times reports.

        <title><![CDATA[ Clinton Asks Superdelegates for Private Commitment]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Hillary Clinton wasn&rsquo;t asking anyone to stand up and be counted as she met with superdelegates on Capitol Hill yesterday. Instead of trying to lock in public endorsements&mdash;with political risks for the supers involved&mdash;Clinton was just trying to get a private headcount, Politico reports. &quot;We have to know where our numbers are,&rdquo; said one Clinton staffer, &ldquo;and there&rsquo;s no other way.&rdquo;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[On the flight home from his North Carolina victory last night, Barack Obama&rsquo;s top adviser signaled that the next phase of the race has begun: &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think we are going to spend our time solely in primary states.&rdquo; Confirming a reporter&rsquo;s interpretation that the candidate would be moving on to general-election territory, he added, &ldquo;We are not going to take anything for granted.

        <description><![CDATA[With three endorsements yesterday, Barack Obama has caught up to Hillary Clinton among Congress' superdelegates; in a race Clinton once dominated, the Democrats have each been endorsed by 97.
