So, add Edwards' super delegates/supporters to Obama and Clinton is even more done than she was before.
19 pledged delegates
0 superdelegates

Not exactly the deal of the century, but every bit helps get the process over with.

There's a story here:

Interesting that Drudge has NOTHING about this at the moment. Looks like he got scooped.

Also, here's a current scorecard, but it shows 18 delegates for Edwards. I'm not sure why there's a difference. This gives Obama a 189-pledged delegate lead and potentially enough to secure the outright nomination, although he already had that without the Edwards announcement.
