Nomination countdown -- 30.5 to go (UPDATED)

2:32 P.M. Another Massachusetts superdelegate. Magic number is 30.5.

1:10 P.M. Updates are coming in fast -- down to 31.5. A Maine super endorsed Obama and he picked up another Edwards delegate from Florida. Two supers from South Carolina were added, too. Plus, the mayor of Detroit is another 1/2 delegate.

Democratic Convention Watch has the magic number down to 35.5 -- that's also the number from the Obama campaign. This total includes several additional Obama delegates from Michigan.

On a conference call to discuss his endorsement of Senator Obama, Rep. James Clyburn (SC) just announced that several more superdelegates will announce their support today -- including Rep. Spratt (SC) who will announce at 1 p.m. (Spratt isn't counted in the Dem. Con. Watch total yet).

Clyburn thinks Obama will garner enough superdelegates during the day so that he'll go over the top when the votes from Montana and South Dakota are tallied.
