Add-On Delegate Update: Obama 2, Clinton 1, Unnamed 1

anaToday saw three separate states holding their add-on selection process: Louisiana, South Carolina and Maryland.

Maryland had two add-on delegates to select, and as I predicted that result was split between Senators Obama and Clinton. Former Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend and Former Governor Parris Glendening were selected, with Townsend supporting Clinton and Glendening supporting Obama.

Former South Carolina State Education Superintendent Inez Tenenbaum received a majority of votes for the add-on delegate position after it was unclear if current Education Superintendent Jim Rex would support Obama, despite the large majority by which Obama carried the state.

Louisiana is also selecting its add-on delegate today, and the results of that contest will be made known later today.
