From NBC's Domenico MontanaroObama picked up the endorsement of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin (a Louisiana add on) and former Colorado Gov. Roy Romer is set to hold an Obama conference call at 11:00 a.m. ET. Romer is currently uncommitted.
Obama has now picked up 25 (with Romer would be 26) this past week. That's more delegates certainly than Clinton will net out of the West Virginia's 28 delegates at stake. And If Obama rolls out four more, he'd have gained more superdelegates in the past week than there are delegates at stake in West Virginia.
We'll update with any news from the call.
*** UPDATE *** The Obama campaign confirms Romer will be endorsing Obama.
*** UPDATE 2 *** WashingtonPost.com's DC Wire reports Anita Bonds, the DC Democratic party chair, previously uncommitted, says she'll support Obama. (Also, there was a Maryland pledged delegate, Jack Johnson, who says he'll vote for Obama at convention, but he is not factored into the superdelegate count.)
That gives Obama 27 in the past week.
