According to CNN, a majority of the 17 remaining uncommitted Senators in the U.S. Senate will endorse Barack Obama at some point this week.
It appears that most of these endorsements will not come until after the South Dakota and Montana primaries tomorrow night.

1BARRETT BOLSTERS UNCOMMITTED CHILDERS, TAYLOR
Conservative-Democrat Richard Barrett has called upon Congressmen
Gene Taylor and Travis Childers to remain uncommitted as
“super-delegates” to the Democratic Convention. Barrett, a recent
Democratic-candidate for Governor of Mississippi, had predicted that
Barack Obama would be swept in on a national-mood, egged on by the
debacle of the Iraq-Afghan invasion, to “throw the bums out” of the
White House. But, Barrett urged Childers, who won as a populist in
North Mississippi, and Taylor, who supported the Confederate-flag, to
prepare for the “post-Obama” era, when the people will “take back”
the nation.
Barrett said that although Americans would be using Obama as “the
broom to sweep out the Bush Administration,” the country would be
ripe for revolution, when Obama propels Africa over America. He noted
that John Bell Williams, a popular Democratic Congressmen, was swept
into the Governor’s office, when he refused to endorse Lyndon
Johnson, who had imposed the Civil Rights Bill. “Ultimately, it is
the people who must decide and who you must side with,” stressed
Barrett, in remarks prepared for delivery over WJNT-radio. Barrett,
who once served with “Democrats for Reagan,” said that things would
“get worse before better.”
Barrett, who once served as a Wallace-for-President official, noted
that North Mississippi had voted overwhelmingly for Childers, whose
GOP-opponent had strong-backing from Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Although Cheney had tried to paint Childers as an Obama-supporter,
Childers refused to endorse Obama. Barrett, who attended Childers’
victory-gala, said that many attending indicated that they had been
supporters of the Presidential-bid of segregationist-Democrat George
C. Wallace. In his message to Childers and Taylor, Barrett said that
“I would like to respectfully urge you to remain uncommitted as a
super-delegate for Mississippi.”
Barrett continued that “although Barack Obama is going to take
office, due, largely, to the backlash over the failures and betrayal
of George W. Bush and his hand-picked, would-be successor, if you
will just glance ahead to the post-Obama day, there will be a lot of
turning about and rebuilding, which you and real-Democrats
everywhere, hopefully, will be part of. Remember, 488,000
Mississippians voted for our flag and stand for the bed-rock,
conservative, patriotic principles, which once made the Democratic
Party great — in the tradition of Jamie Whitten and William L.
Colmer — and can do so, once again, after the Obama
flash-in-the-pan.”
