Clinton Superdelegate Sits Tight

So this is how the day after goes for those superdelegates. Every Wednesday it seems affords a new week of recalculating, but the numbers still aren’t there for either Clinton or Obama, which means, barring a drop-out, superdelegates are still the key to the Democratic nomination.

Virginia Del. Lionell Spruill of Chesapeake, an announced Clinton supporter, on his way to Washington to meet with the Clinton campaign said Tuesday’s results were “very interesting.”

He said he’s waiting until Montana and South Dakota primary elections June 3 before he makes any further decisions in the race. Still, “everybody and their momma’s” calling him, he said.

“The more I’m out of the press, the more they leave me alone,” Spruill said. “They see me in the press, they start calling and pressuring me.”

For now, Spruill said he’s waiting on Clinton to call the shots. “I don’t know what’s on her mind,” he said. “I guess we have to wait and see what will happen.”
