Three More Delegates for Obama: Illinois Add-Ons Offically Announced

Although in the works for several days now, the Illinois Democratic Party was finally able to announce officialy its three add-on delegates for this year's Democratic National Convention: Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Cook County Board President Todd Stroger and Illinois House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie.

All three are Obama supporters, which gives Obama a clean sweep of add-on delegates in his home state, much like Clinton received in New York.

With the two Maryland superdelegates announcing with these three, today is a windfall for Senator Obama. I'll wait to post an updated status of the race later today because there may be more superdelegates announcing.
