Barack Obama's momentum continues unabated. Today he has received the support of five more super-delegates, with the campaign saying he is now 109 delegates from securing the nomination.

Obama was most notably endorsed by Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia. He also picked up state party chairs Larry Gates of Kansas and Dwight Pelz of Washington state, and DNC members Cindy Spanyers and Blake Johnson, both from Alaska.

Hillary Clinton has not received any super-del endorsements so far today.
