Another Superdelegate for Obama: Kalyn Free (Oklahoma)

Today the Obama Campaign received the announcement by Kalyn Free, a DNC Superdelegate and founder of the INDN's List, which recruits Native American candidates for elected office.

Some news organizations had already counted this superdelegate in the Obama tally; others had not. NBC News, whose counts I am using now, had already counted her for Obama so this announcement will not mean a gain in the Obama column in my analysis.

However, any momentum is good momentum, and this announcement adds to the deluge of Obama superdelegates and add-on delegates announcing today.

Plus, this endorsement does show that Obama does well within the Native American community, which could potentially turn New Mexico's add-on delegate, Laurie Weahkee, who is also Native American and wants to support the candidate that will represent the Native American interests.
