INDIANAPOLIS — While much of the political establishment is attending the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner tonight in Washington, the superdelegate operation is still churning.

Senator Barack Obama, who spent the day campaigning In Indiana in advance of the state’s May 6 primary, collected the endorsement of an Arizona superdelegate today.

Charlene Fernandez, the newly-elected first vice chairwoman of the Arizona Democratic Party, announced her support tonight for Mr. Obama

“Senator Barack Obama is strengthening the Democratic Party by bringing in new voters, young and old, into the process,” Ms. Fernandez said in a statement released by the Obama campaign. ” I believe Senator Obama has the best ability to win the White House in November and lead this country forward.”

Ms. Fernandez was Mr. Obama’ s 241st superdelegate endorsement.
