Barack Obama is the Democratic Presidential Nominee for the 2008 General Election, so DemConWatch has decided that we will no longer be updating our superdelegate lists or tables. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us out with our Superdelegate Lists and Delegate Trackers . Special thanks go to Yousri, Quon_mom, Amot, Charlie and Ed Espinoza .

When we started the lists in early January we had no idea that we would get so much attention or that we would be updating the list into June. We also never expected to get the media coverage we received. We had stories written about us in the NY Times , Wired , Politico , The Wall Street Journal and US News and World Report to name a few.

Which will do the best by me and my family and my beliefs?” I am pleased and humbled that the DCW guys ar...
