***Update*** - This post is according to ABC News only. I have found no other major news sources as of yet that are saying that Obama has gained the superdelegate lead, although it is all over the blogosphere this morning!

Sen. Barack Obama has now officially taken the lead in the superdelegate count for the 2008 Democratic primary nomination.

This is the last straw that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had left to pull, and it is now gone. Obama now leads in all viable metrics for the race including popular vote, states won, pledged delegates, and now superdelegates.

Current Count:

Obama - 267

Clinton - 266

Not sure how long this will last, as the numbers change almost daily but it is certainly sign of increased momentum for Obama and he is clearly on his way to wrapping this thing up.
