Clinton's Superdelegate Edge Slipping


WASHINGTON, April 7 (UPI) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton's bid to be the Democratic U.S. presidential nominee is getting harder, as another superdelegate announced plans to support her rival.

Margaret Campbell, a Montana state legislator, plans to declare her support for Obama, U.S. senator from Illinois, becoming the 69th superdelegate he has picked up since Super Tuesday, Feb. 5, The New York Times reported Monday.

At the same time, Clinton of New York, has experienced a net loss of two delegates, which may help to mute Clinton's hopes even more than the firing Sunday of Mark Penn, her campaign's chief strategist, the Times said.
