Are the superdelegates declaring for Obama anonymously?
Or are the news stations just not reporting who they are for some reason? Sorry if this has already been covered, but I just got home from work.

4. Locke, a Clinton co-chair, now backs Obama (WA)

Former Gov. Gary Locke told Seattle Times reporter Ralph Thomas this afternoon that he has switched his support to Barack Obama. Locke was one of three co-chairmen on the Clinton campaign here. We're waiting to hear from Ron Sims and Jay Inslee.

It’s clear that the primary contest is over. Sen. Obama has done an incredible job of inspiring and energizing voters. We need to bring this to an end. We can not wait. This can not go to the convention. It’s time for us all to rally around Sen. Obama. We should and must rally around him. I am very proud to support Sen. Obama.

Locke said he's not worried about the long, bitter primary fight. In fact, he thinks it will help Obama because it fired up the Democratic base, brought in a lot of new voters and given a lot more exposure to key Democratic issues such as health care, the environment and the economy.

The Democrats have had the luxury of two incredibly outstanding candidates.

8. Error, Locke NOT a SD, But Sims IS and switched..

A Washington state Democratic superdelegate is switching his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama.

King County Executive Ron Sims says he thinks Obama is the kind of candidate who can change the politics of the U.S. Sims is a superdelegate to the national convention.

Former Gov. Gary Locke says he's also supporting Obama. Locke is not a superdelegate. But he and Sims were two co-chairmen of Clinton's Washington state campaign.

Locke was the nation's first Chinese-American governor, serving from 1996-2004. He says he's ready to help Obama with outreach to minority voters around the country, if the campaign needs him.

6. I do find myself wondering about the mechanics
Do they call the super-secret super-delegate number to declare?
