The Democratic super-delegates look to end Hillary Clinton campaign.
Nine super delegates came out to support Obama on Friday, he now has 275 super-delegates to Clinton's 271. It is the first time in the race where Obama has overtaken Clinton with the all-important senior party leaders. Clinton held a massive lead in super-delegate support before the party's first primary in Iowa at the beginning of her campaign.
But the string of wins for Obama and his popularity in the general nominations has convinced many to switch candidates in his favour. With six primaries remaining a resilient Clinton has said the race is not over, while attempting to dispel fears that the tight race is hemorrhaging the parties chances in the general election, reassuring a unified democratic front when the candidate is finally decided.
