As superdelegates trickle in with their support for Barack Obama -- CNN at this moment is reporting that Obama needs only four delegates to clinch the nomination -- Jack Reed says he's still not ready to endorse a candidate.

He told the Providence Journal [1] Tuesday that he "doesn’t plan to join any organized swing of undeclared superdelegates into Obama’s camp tomorrow."

At the same time Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon
Whitehouse and Rep. James R. Langevin -- who have pledged their support for Hillary Clinton -- "both indicated that they might
reassess their endorsements if Clinton stays in the race much beyond
rival Sen. Barack Obama’s expected claim to a nominating majority."

I guess anything can happen.
