I had a sneaking suspicion that Senator Clinton would announce a second superdelegate today to match Obama's two announcements, and I was proven correct.
Congressman Ike Skelton from Missouri has announced his support today for Senator Clinton, according to her website, which provides a link to the Associated Press story.
And so, today, April 29th saw as much action as you will see on May 3rd, when four pledged delegates total (eight delegates with 1/2 vote each) will be selected in the Guam Caucuses.
While Senator Clinton may have tied the day officially in superdelegates, the one-for-one matching of superdelegates at this stage of the race only serves to deplete the number of superdelegates left that are available to push her to the nomination.
The main reaction here is that Obama showed off strength earlier today with two delegates to blunt the announcement of a solid pickup by Clinton of the North Carolina governor. Clinton met the challenge and released another superdelegate today to even the score.
I'll write more in an update above.
