12:35 AM: Obama likely to pick up at least two Wis super delegates
In addition to the delegates he'll win for his performance at the ballot box, Barack Obama should pick up two Dem super delegates from Wisconsin.
U.S. Reps. Ron Kind of La Crosse and Steve Kagen of Appleton have pledged to cast their support for whichever candidate won their districts.
Obama won both districts with about 56 percent of the vote, according to unofficial returns.
Wisconsin has 16 super delegates, including the governor, U.S. Sens. Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl, the five Dem members of the U.S. House and eight DNC members living in Wisconsin.
If Kind and Kagen hold true to their promise, Obama will have six super delegates from Wisconsin, while Clinton will have two.
Obama's would be Gov. Jim Doyle, DNC member Stan Grusynski, and U.S. Reps. Kagen, Kind, Gwen Moore and Dave Obey.
Clinton's are U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin and DNC member Tim Sullivan.
