It’s superdelegate mania in Oregon.
Today Gail Rasmussen, an at large member of the Democratic National Committee, threw her lot in with U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the seventh out of 12 superdelgates to do so, leaving only three undecided.
Like many of the other superdelegates, Rasmussen noted the historic nature of this primary election, both in Oregon and across the nation.
“Voters have had the opportunity to have a real voice in the process,” she said in a statement. “It will be an honor to cast a vote at the Democratic National Convention in honor of the support shown in Oregon for Senator Barack Obama.”

Hard to believe that so many people will vote for obama without looking at his history.
If you go check, he plagerizes almost ALL of his speeches..Of course it sounds good, someone famous said them before, word for word.
