I hope the superdelegates will pay attention to the fact that while Obama was popular among working class whites when he ran in Wisconsin, he has been losing that segment of electorate to Hillary, as of late, as was abundantly clear in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The demographics of Michigan, being similar to that of Ohio and Pennsylvania, will also help her in the general election, should she be the nominee.

Gayle King calls for Obama

Gayle King is calling North Carolina voters for Barack Obama.

In a minute-and-a-half long recorded call, the longtime friend of talk-show host Oprah Winfrey encourages North Carolinians to get out to vote.

"This, as you may have heard, is a very, very, very tight race and Barack Obama needs you to get to the polls because every vote matters, so please be sure to take your family and friends along with you today," she says.

She also gives a toll-free number for people who need a ride to the polls and reminds them that they can vote as long as they're in line by 7:30 p.m.

"This message, by the way, is paid for by Obama for America, and I apologize that it's so long, but this is so important to me," she says.
