The Illinois Democrat grabbed the superdelegate lead thanks to a switch by New Jersey Rep. Donald Payne and an endorsement from previously uncommitted Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon. Those two votes gave Obama...

So in this, as in so many things, McCain will be standing in for Bush , going on the road for New Hampshire's John...
