It’s Finals Time For Student Superdelegates

All that online pressure, all the instant messages on AIM and Gchat, all those YouTube comments and Facebook messages and wall posts added up to something: Two more delegates for Sen. Barack Obama.

In a YouTube video posted shortly before midnight yesterday, Lauren Wolfe and UW-Madison student Awais Khaleel, who as president and vice president of the College Democrats of America are among the youngest Democratic superdelegates, endorsed Obama. In the two-minute video, Wolfe said: “We’ve received over 5,000 e-mails . . . hundreds of YouTube comments. . . . We support Senator Barack Obama.”
