From TPM Election Central:

Obama’s haul of super-delegates is turning out out to be very heavy today — and that’s before any actual votes are counted from tonight’s primaries, increasing the likelihood that he will clinch the nomination imminently soon.

• South Carolina Congressman John Spratt.

• DNC member Ralph Dawson, from Hillary Clinton’s home state of New York.

• Massachusetts DNC member Deb Kozikowski.
